I hope you guys enjoy this relaxing restorative class. Remember, when you take time out for yourself, you are better able to show up for your loved ones, community and the world. Namaste 🙏♥️

[@heavensent8771]

Thank you so much for easing my pain. ♥️♥️

[@marykenney5262]

perfect! thank you

[@theotherway1639]

Thanks. BTW the mindfulness and meditation book "30 Days to Stop Giving a Shit" by Corin Devaso has some really good beginning mindfulness exercises, and it's a fun quick read. Totally recommend it.

[@dlvasallo1]

I haven't been to a gym in ages and I have compounding health and physical issues. Your yoga video is the first yoga class I have taken in ages. I am aware of my problem areas. Your video has pinpointed them. Thank you.

[@sarahjordan1075]

Thank you so much, we are just moving house which is proving stressful and this was the perfect antidote! 💕

[@schmoopie0518]

Thank you! I am a 64 year old overweight women with many health challenges. This is the first time I have done floor Yoga. I surprised myself by doing most of the poses in spite of spinal injuries. I lasted 27 minutes. I will do this again on Monday. Many Thanks ❤

[@alifyawibowo7134]

Hi, ma'am. I would just like to say i'm very proud of you ❤

[@HaleyShealy15]

It's been years since I've been in a regular yoga practice and last night was my breaking point of anxiety, worries, panic, all manifesting in physical form. I felt nothing but peace and calm watching this and it means so much to me that you create things brief window for me to regain my composure and my focus.

[@Irelandsings]

This is beautiful! I too found this video peaceful and calming. From therapy, I am learning that anxiety is often the result of worrying about the future in one way or another, so this video brought me back to the present, especially with the deep and paced breathing 🥰

[@spartysmile5243]

Yeah I'm 72 now and I started practicing in 1970 when I was 20. But with raising kids and 50 years of marriage I often have been just exercising and trying to maintain my equilibrium. Thank the Lord for Thriftbooks I obtained some of my old instructions books. And just started practicing again. Like they say, "when the student is ready the teacher will appear".

[@jayleo401]

Hands down the best restorative practice I’ve ever done. I’m 30 yrs old ex-athlete/bodybuilder and have suffered from debilitating anxiety, injuries and severe chronic fatigue for 1 year now. I’ve followed this video practice only twice and I have felt levels of peace and equanimity in my body that I have not felt in over 12 months. Thanks Jessica!

[@brigettenicole2943]

As someone with severe depression, health issues & PTSD, this class was by far the most relaxing I’ve felt in forever!! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Esaskate]

Keep looking for these little pearls, as I call these moments of relaxation and you will see that your body builds up on these tiny experiences . There is a way out! ;)

[@aourose]

What is your advice to practice 3 times a week or more or less?

[@pxntes]

I agree, same boat.

Dude. My sore body AND mind feel refreshed. You’re the best. This is the best I’ve felt in months

[@paigehennigar6557]

this was amazing, during the meditation when you said give yourself permission to let go i just started crying, i didn't know how much i was keeping in

[@munnuuzz2415]

Same even i cried when started doing this

[@umminasir3113]

Me too I thought i was the only one who was crying at yoga🥺 I absolutely love her

[@sophiapowers8361]

I am working on the 2020 American Election and tomorrow is election day and I have been so stressed that I haven't been able to sleep -- this helped me finally calm down and find a moment of peace before election day tomorrow. Thank you, Jessica!

[@thegatesfamily5420]

That was the most relaxing, deepest meditation I can remember experiencing. Thank you!!!

[@lindsaywoessner4504]

Wow... really incredible. I’ve struggled to find content like this, and you’ve offered a beautiful class that has left me feeling more grounded.

[@healthylongevityinc7762]

I absolutely love the soft gentle tone and pace of your voice. Voice more than anything is what I first look for in a yoga instructor. Super important to my nervous system. You're wonderful, Jessica! Thank you so much! :D

[@ultimatestar705]

I found this channel a couple weeks ago and I can't tell you how much I'm loving these classes. I'm a certified yoga instructor and have been doing yoga since 2009 so I've done all types of classes. The voice overs in these videos are GOLD. I know it takes a lot more time and effort but I just wanted to let you know that it's greatly appreciated. Your voice is soooo relaxing. Wonderful channel

[@terriwalters3988]

I fully agree. Thank you for this wonderful practice.

[@FullLifeConsequences]

I love to do this sequence at the end of the day after I've been sitting in front of a computer for ~10 hours. It really helps to open up my chest and hip area and relieve the strain in my upper back and neck. I've also noticed that after a few weeks of doing it every day, my desk posture is much better and some chronic pain that I used to have is much reduced. Thank you for sharing!

[@rachelstiedemann3539]

To whoever is out there reading this, never give up, hope for the best and rise above the rest ! *

[@que_relle]

Thank you, Jessica. My father passed away a week ago and i am really struggling, the practice helped me a lot 🤍

[@jackiemale7921]

Wow I think that was the best flow I could've done before hopping on a flight! I will go into my travels relaxed and grounded - tysm!!

[@JessicaRichburg]

I'm so glad. Safe travels love! 😘

[@theoneandonline]

I am so glad to have found you through this video. I thought I could never find a yoga instructor who resonnates with me like Lesley Fightmaster. But here you are. Bringing peace to my mind, relaxation to my neck and deep silent trust into my thoughts. Thank you so much. I hope I will be back here with you many times.

[@SheriAnne0711]

After a year of caring for a sick husband and lots of hospital stays I needed some self love this morning. Jessica, your voice was so calming to me. My body is so stiff from not practicing any. yoga for so long. Thank you so much for this restorative yoga practice. It really helped my anxiety and overall stress level so much!! Blessings and love to you!

[@AmiOktarina]

So I’m not the only one who’s crying right? Thank you for the most gentle and relaxing video❤

[@deannaxm]

I just wanted to personally thank you! You really have a huge positive impact in the world 🤎

[@JessicaRichburg]

Thank you so much! That means a lot to hear 🙏

[@pxntes]

Jéssica, I can’t thank you enough for this video. I remember trying Yoga for the first time at my local gym and it was so intense it almost put me off Yoga completely. I have now been practicing this restorative yoga video for a few weeks now, I love it, it’s transformed my mood, I always feel more calm and light after the session. I love how you also add meditation at the end which kills two birds with one stone for my daily routine.

[@stellarstories]

Your calmness, gentle voice and slow, steady flow help me so much. I've strained my left leg and couldn't do most of these exercises as they're shown, so I made my own adjustments and used a pillow. I loved doing my version, in parallel with yours. Gratitude, in abundance. Peace to you and everyone here.

[@doclonkar1496]

As an inflexible beginner, this is just what the doctor ordered! Thank you and namaste!

[@MarilynFayeDizon]

I really needed this. At the end when you said to just let go and be present, I just started crying. Been really rough lately but I needed that cry. Thank you so much! This is my favorite one so far.

[@seraphinamarini]

After shoveling some snow the other day my back was really hurting. This yoga sequence helped release the tension in my low back. Thank you!

[@punkroyalbby]

At the final hands to heart center, I was really great full to receive your practices from half way across the world . Thankyou for being a part of my routine ❤

[@zohrehfazlinejad9098]

Namaste, thank you so much for your yoga class

[@jaelyndennis8736]

I'm really amazed, this is the best I've felt after yoga without an in person class, I feel refreshed and calm and light

[@habuzee]

This was just as advertised: restorative! I felt so much relief from tension throughout my body that near the end I was surprised by the tears that I started to release and shivers went down my back. What a wonderful yoga routine. Very grateful to you for sharing this gift with everyone ❤

[@MzSynShellz]

This was such a soothing and relaxing session. Your Aura is phenomenal❤💙. I truly needed this Thank you so much!

[@barbarabrowning4117]

Thank you, Jessica. I discovered your channel about10 days ago, and my body and life are so much better for it. I’m loving the peace of mind and comfort in my body that your classes are bringing me. You’re a gift.

🦋Even as a clumsy rookie to your yoga channel . I’m a committed faithful follower and learner of your knowledge and guidance. You’re Voice is very calming. I’m already noticing improvement after one week. Balance and calmness is noticeably improving 🙏 ❤️Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@sandrazimmer]

Jessica, you are an excellent yin yoga teacher. Your gentile voice, clear instructions and amazing prana flow will keep me coming back to your classes. At 71, it have been a few years since I did yoga classes. I've been doing Pilates for 5 years, but this is exactly what I needed today. Thank you! Namaste! Pranams!

[@Sma11vi11e153]

I’ve been searching far and wide a restorative evening practice before bed to decompress and this is my favorite one so far! You have a lovely voice and I really appreciated the mindfulness moments you wove in throughout the practice :)

[@alexistodd1146]

I loved this so much. It was exactly what I needed. Your voice is so calming & you explained each movement so great, I was able to do the whole thing with my eyes closed. Namaste. 🙏🏼

[@ardenrenee3439]

I'm just getting into yoga and your videos help me so much, and I love the peace it brings me. I just wanted to say I appreciate so much that you don't put extra ads in your video as to not interrupt the class!

[@rosewildwood3783]

I have chronic health issues, and usually when I do guided yoga it’s a struggle to get from one position to the next. But with this class, I can actually relax into the shapes and allow my muscles to stretch naturally and gently. Also, something about the words you choose allows me to feel what you are saying in my body. Thank you so much. ❤️

[@sparra3819]

You can try shorter sessions and alter the video setting for a slower play speed like .75 ... I do this frequently, as I'm 60 and find myself not quite as nimble as these young yogis.. but do love following them. This was a lovely session, though, I do agree.

[@nau304]

After long period, I greet the mat again. thank you for the video and guidance. Namaste

[@sarahlouiseg.3142]

This was amazing I started this this evening after work at home on the dark winter nights and I feel amazing Cannot wait to get on my mat tomorrow after work again with candles and rock salt lamp and do it again xx

[@Alkeran12]

This was amazing! After spending the day tearing down my bathroom, I just needed a slow practice to stretch and relax. Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

[@patriciadiaz3589]

Thank you so much for this practice! Because of remote learning, I have been having a terrible back pain and doing your class has made me feel so much better. I haven't been able to relax this much since months. Namaste!

[@venetast]

Wow this practice was soo soothing! I realized how much I neglected myself in the past, and this yoga class opened me up to the self love inside me, that we all tend to forget. Thank you so much!

[@jessitalbot1821]

WOW! This is my first introduction to your channel (thanks KZbin) and I yelled "THAT WAS GREAT!" at this end. Thank you so much Jessica. You have an amazing voice, very relaxing and your class was perfect. I find a lot of other yoga folks on here chatter too much but you gave great instruction with lots of room for me to get INTO it. Can't wait to do more!

[@sophiamilton1557]

My favorite practice of all videos on KZbin! This is perfect for my lifestyle. I work a stressful schedule. 2 days a typical 9-5 and 2 days graveyard, completely conflicting my internal clock evey shift so the graveyard shift are hard to pull theough at times and takes a toll on my mind, body and spirit. This practice however keeps me sane especially. after coming home from hanging in there from my graveyard shift...its PERFECT to rebalance my health.

[@anastasiagaidai6136]

The best yoga practice I've ever had! It's so relaxing and wonderful. Thank you very much ❤️

This was exactly what my mind & body needed this morning! & your voice is super gentle !

[@roadtriptowellness614]

Jessica seriously. you're amazing. Your reverance during this class was so beautiful to watch and experience with you. You also helped me realize that I can end my yin or restorative classes sitting up! My back tends to be stiff after lying on my back. It was so great to see you do the lying down poses then move to seated and meditation, which is the opposite of how I set my class. Genius sis. Thanks so much! Be blessed!

[@beyondthebop]

What a lovely practice to do right before bed after having had a veeery long and exhausting day, I'm so glad I finally took time for this practice. It's been on my "gonna do today" playlist for quite some time now and it was definitely worth it. I feel like myself again - being connected and relaxed.

[@nadjaortizlopez7322]

I haven’t done yoga in a long time, and this was my first video back and let me tell you, I opened my eyes and I felt like a knife person. I loved the way you cued. It was amazing.

[@irenepassera4350]

Today I came home from work very overwhelmed. My boyfriend told me to relax and do yoga, because he knows I enjoy doing it. Well, I ended up in your video completely by chance and at the end of the video, during the guided meditation, when you said "you don't need to have control now" I started crying. That's what I've been wanting to hear this evening! I feel so much better now! Thank you very much for letting me have a moment I could simply enjoy without overthinking about it! 🌼 namaste!
