Morning Routine | The Yoga Solution With Tara Stiles

[@JodyMelto]

She had me at "do whatever feels good with your arms." And I actually like her fast speaking for my purposes -- a quick wake up stretch before my son gets up and my non-stop media production job begins. I know the moves; so, her voice is more like a cue card prompt.

[@Windpower187]

thank you this was easy and fun

[@breannagarbett-davies8251]

I do this every morning before leaving the house, thank you soooo much, I love it!

[@atp1867]

It's amazing what 5 minutes can do to relieve pent up tension during training. Many thanks for the content. Much obliged.

[@Kelby7]

These yoga solutions from Tara are so great, please don't ever discontinue them!!!! great channel - cheers to you Tara & livestrongwoman team!!!!

[@tirapups]

This is great! I'm trying to start a new morning routine and don't have a lot of time between the dogs so this is perfect, thank you! :)

[@AHighlander]

Dogging is rather time-consuming.

[@ukulelelucy]

love the background setting, simple music and speed of this video

[@taniak.7678]

i needed to remind myself to do this each morning...Thanks

[@smilelikumnit]

This is JUST what I needed! I can't believe I hadn't found this channel before today - new favorite!

[@TiGZalWaYZ89]

Played the video at .75x and it was absolutely perfect for still hearing your detailed instructions and also holding the moves just a bit longer for the stretch. Also loved this smile at 4:09 dunno why, just made me feel like my cool new friend felt proud of the routine we just did together 😅

[@poissonCHA1]

i love her voice. i could fall asleep right now because she's so calming

[@jmgermick1]

I love how you talk to the audience. You describe what to do in the perfect details.

[@GetFitty]

love this! helped calm me this morning.

[@oldartscollegemanagementco5113]

Thank you Tara! I love your short yoga videos. I do one most mornings here in London. Clear instructions and a calm but uplifting atmosphere. I'm off to enjoy my birthday!

[@kkmmrew]

[@Chucky3866]

[@LoveMyUnusual]

@LivestrongWoman This came in great handy this morning when I didn't have time to go from dorm to gym. Thanks so much! You have a new subscriber :)

[@superlativeGirl12]

Exactly what I needed to start my day, thank you!

[@jessicajenns5140]

I would say that is a matter of opinion. She's always gotten me through these routines smoothly, I find them very helpful, I suppose it depends on your preference.

[@susangee9670]

Just finished doing this morning Yoga routine, execellent. Thank you Tara. Susan

[@teresaholbrooks2226]

I've become extremely out of shape at 41 and this was the perfect morning intro back into my love of yoga!!! LOVED IT!

[@renpham]

Thanks so much for the video. Im ready to start my day

[@skyhr]

You know what I love about these videos? They're short! Most videos are like 20min long, but you can get the same benefits and more in these succinct 5min videos!

[@mollyconway6205]

Thank you so much :) I just began yoga and this is great for me to do before I have to go to my early morning classes :)

[@Positivelykidsvideo]

I am going to start doing this !

[@lindachadwick6179]

Great start for the day - love the 5 and 10 minute workouts

[@roxanneleenor2579]

Thank you. I feel energized.

[@nasserfahr2511]

Thank you. Your work is healing

[@pookalitaz]

New subbie! Thanks for sharing this video; it's a great way to start the day.

[@deshongray]

Thank u thank u Ms Tara

[@OyaRevolutionary]

I love this. I'm a plus size but not too much plus. I've been doing yoga for almost 30 years but have slowed down quite a bit recently due to family commitments. I love this being a parent to a young man who has severe health complexes I get little time so this is short but sweet. Many thanks.

[@daphnewhite2029]

im a beginner so im looking for stuff to keep me motivated! I love this!!!

[@Ysai08]

Hey, Tara. I was wondering if you can show some moves targeting cellulite, especially in the thigh and bum area? I am asking because I have the bizzarre situation where my legs have always been slim and toned, and yet, cellulite is something I have had since my late teens. I would be so very grateful if you do such a video, and so will many women, especially with the summer approaching! Oh, an one more thing - you're great! Keep up all the good stuff! xx

[@livestrongwomen]

It just takes some practice. You'll be a yoga master in no time if you stick with it, promise!

[@beccaboo6844]

wow, this is REALLY helpful

[@alalala331990]

Love your video, Tara! Keep it up!

[@elenaboncheva7049]

Good job, Tara! Love your videos!

[@SwimnOMer86]

This was a great way to start my day thank you!

[@leonmatthias321]

Great flow thank you!

[@filippavivianne]

Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽❤️

[@nguverenahua59]

These are really fantastic! Any chance of them being released as a podcast so we can appreciate them on the go?

[@Yukiberry]

Tried it this morning! Feel so refreshed!!! :)

[@Silirion]

Thank you Tara. Really great stuff!

[@livestrongwomen]

A lot of you were asking for a morning routine from Tara. Enjoy!

[@GodfreyVI]

This is great.

[@DaviesTam]

[@xoxBeachBummGirlxox]

[@TJKhara]

Hi Tara, What audio equipment do you use to record your audio. The audio quality is great. Thanks, TJ.

[@juulbakker10]

I love it

[@livestrongwomen]

Thank you, @killer724!!

[@xXHanna84Xx]

Hi! this was really invigorating.I just started doing yoga yesterday (for 3 hours and before bedtime) and im hooked.This was a bit hard for me,cause i never exercised in any way all my life.Im not so flexible..how long does it take to get flexible like you (Im slim and 28 yrs old btw)? Love,Hanna from Sweden

[@ldevaz]

Great little routine, thank you!

[@AdriennevsUncleJamesWashington]

Happy birthday 🎂

[@pickledbuffalo]

Top vid, thanks

[@muscle247]

Nice quick video thank you!!:-)

[@peymaoskoui6325]

Tara, thank you for posting these videos. Can you please respond to the comments that these are wrong moves? Also, any way I can adjust the low lunges for my 77 year old mom (fit but not very flexible...) if for example you can show how to use blocks or other props to help with these moves (or any other ones).

[@alexane123]

Thank you, Tara!

[@oravavaara]

Thanks for posting! Great quick routine as always. Unfortunate production, though. Please use music to match the style of the video (in this case, gentle and relaxing) and shots that show the pose clearly.

[@BigJake530]

I love you, Tara, with all my heart. :) Thank you for the videos.

[@vesnamandic1990]

I really like the way you talk because I can follow you without watching

[@nvang28]

I agree. The the talking is way to fast for a morning routine but a great beginners morning yoga.

[@joshualeewilliamsjoshualee9984]

wasa totally awesome I feel great

[@carorobp]

thanks!

[@christoc99]

Thanks tara : )

[@PriyamDasLifestyle]

I love her yoga routines :)

[@ShayHrobsky]

I definitely needed this today :)

[@boxingmatch]

I like how you speak to me like a normal person. Makes a lot more sense to me, I live I'm a city and everything is fast fast fast so nothing more irritating than shanti shanti long drawn yoga speak. Very down to earth.

[@wendybooms111]

I don t like rhe background mucic it makes me stressed sounds like a computer game;)

[@paulstall7554]

Amazing

[@Thankful_.]

Great! I really enjoyed this! Rhx

[@Doriesep6622]

Love your soothing matter of fact voice. TU

[@michellepickett4389]

Thank you Tara! You rock! :)

[@Bonitavita]

love your videos, but had this question for some time. What going on with your knee in low lunges? It's going all the way forward beyond the toes? Isn't that a recipe for injury?

[@ehowhealth]

Waking up to this!

[@lwiener67]

Just starting yoga. Is three times a week good? I work out too.

[@krakitd]

Ok so first time trying yoga and i'm winded, thanks.

[@Hv3rr0r]

where can i get those pants? love tara stiles yoga

[@Suntasticfun]

Pefect!!!! ❤

[@wendybooms111]

I have a question on 1:12 your knee is not in line with your ankle I have been told that s a must..is this oke your knee almost in line with your toes?

[@c.calastri2985]

Fantastic video! But avoid letting the knee go further forward than your ankle during your lunges. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Especially because newbies are relying on you to show them what's right. Don't want to teach knee-injuring poses to anyone. Cheers and thanks for the lovely routine, definitely a keeper!

[@mayasteininger6821]

Caroline Calastri do your research..your knee CAN be above your ankle when the other knee is on the ground. That's important. Only in this case you can have your knee over the ankle.

[@c.calastri2985]

Oooh interesting, thanks for the info ;)

[@christinamdarrigo]

Very graceful mover, but your knee should definitely be directly above your ankle in the lunges or else you could damage your knee very badly!! Please, for whoever is watching this, to avoid knee injury in your lunges, make sure that your knee is not so far in front of your foot & ankle when you bend it (knee should be right above your ankle)!! I definitely cringed a little bit when I saw that (just because I've suffered from knee injury in the past, and I wouldn't wish that kind of pain on my worst enemy), but the video was beautifully shot & the routine would be great for the morning time! Stay healthy!!! :)

[@mayasteininger6821]

Christina D'Arrigo do your research..your knee CAN be above your ankle when the other knee is on the ground. That's important. Only in this case you can have your knee over the ankle.

[@christinamdarrigo]

Maya Steininger, thanks for your reply to my comment. I meant nothing against Tara at all, and I think she's an awesome yoga teacher and beautiful person!! However, I stand by what I said. I take joint alignment very seriously, and regardless of the amount of weight you're placing on the leg (if you're back knee is on the ground, then you're placing less weight on the front leg, which was the one I was referring to in my previous comment), when you place your knee that far forward out of alignment with your ankle, you're putting your joints at risk of injury, especially when you repeat the movement regularly. Sorry if my previous comment upset you in anyway. Stay safe and healthy in your yoga journey. Namaste.

[@mayasteininger6821]

Christina D'Arrigo Unfortunately in this case, you are wrong. Your joints wouldn't be at risk simply because what you just said..you are putting very little pressure on your joints, because you are supporting yourself with the back knee on the ground. However you decide to do it, Tara is doing it correctly.

[@christinamdarrigo]

Maya Steininger, I respectfully disagree. I have been taught in all the anatomy & kinesiology courses I've taken that the ankle joint supports the knee joint. When your weight is no longer distributed evenly amongst both legs, the leg that is bearing the most weight (in this case, the front leg of the lunge) while bent, should have the knee directly stacked above the ankle and the patella should be in line with your second and third toes. Otherwise, the ankle is not in a position where it's stable enough to support the knee, which could cause stresses on the patella tendon from repetitive weight bearing in flexion. When your back knee is on the ground, you are definitely not placing as much weight on the front leg as you would if you were on the metatarsal of the back leg, so it won't be as severe on the knee joint if your knee is further forward. However, since we tend to move in and out of low lunge and high lunge quite often, I feel that it's safer to maintain the alignment of the knee and ankle throughout. That's how I practice and teach because this is what I was taught. Again, no disrespect against Tara. She's human just like we all are, and she does an amazing job at all that she does. I also mean no disrespect against you as well. If this is what works for you, then by all means, do what is best for your body. From the perspective of someone who has suffered from patellar tendonitis for most of my life, this philosophy is something that I currently live by, and it helps to reduce inflammation around my knee cap. Hope that better helps to explain my theory on this issue. Have a great weekend, and best wishes in your yoga practice! :)

[@mayasteininger6821]

Christina D'Arrigo I'm not arguing with you, I'm just saying you are wrong, that's a fact. Maybe if you actually tried the lunge, you would see that it feels very light on the joints... People if you are doing something (workouts, yoga, hiking or walking) your ankles are already strong. If you would like to study the alignment, please read books written by specialists (=doctors) and not blogs or magazine written by "lifestyle specialists". And most importantly, you don't even have to read books, just do what feels good!

[@rumshah]

I was wondering which exercise will help you get taller?

[@dearpeacegirl7285]

Love love

[@klepackaasia]

it works!! thanks! but only when I turn off the sound,i just cant focus because of that talk talk talk, sorry...

[@lilymonster17]

Is it supposed to be done that fast? Anyone?

[@juangonzalezramirez815]

Saludos especiales para una reina

[@voliteon]

Regarding the "Lunges" she does, both my yoga teachers instruct never to have the knee 'overshoot' the ankle (ie always have it no further forward than your ankle). Tara Stiles here seems to have the knee way further forward than her ankle/foot. Is that VERY poor technique?

[@mayasteininger6821]

EoN604 when your other knee is on the ground, it's safe to have your knee over ankle

[@Bicoastalwitch]

I've read that it's better to do yoga on an empty, or not just eaten, stomach. My instructor at school has also said the same thing. A piece of fruit is ok though :)

[@Hello.Yellow.Mellow]

This is a modified sun salutation routine. I wish u had at least mentioned that as it becomes easier to follow as its a basic of most yoga classes....

[@uzih]

Not just for women! Excellent if you're recovering from a weight training injury

[@roemelvs]

[@JustDreamingLife]
