Stay Loose: Natural Movements for Mobility & Stretching

[@tracicarson305]

This was AWESOME! Thanks so much for sharing these incredible videos - they have changed my practice and outlook on movement vs exercise. The best start to my day!! You rock, Kellen!

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

That's why I do this! Thanks very much for watching and commenting. Hope your practice continues to explode with creativity. Best.

[@ezracamilo425]

you all probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.

[@brerByron]

Excellent stuff Kellen! My Son & I are really enjoying making your workouts part of our routine. My son, Little Byron says that doing your workouts feels great like putting WD40 on all your joints. Blessings & Many Thanks!!!!

[@markdonohue4]

I am a personal trainer and avid surfer and this style of training is excellent, I'd imagine its popularity is going to exponentially increase over the next several years. Thanks for posting these, I enjoy them!

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Thanks for commenting, Mark. I couldn't agree more, man! The full spectrum of human movement provides a more complete context to define and individualize our fitness. The gym is great, but getting out in the world and moving with confidence is unparalleled. Thanks for your support and for your work in helping others get healthy. Best wishes!

[@andreapmartinez]

I never comment on videos, but I had to here- thank you. My head was going to fall of from nodding in agreement to many of the topics you raised regarding stability, the nervous system, exploration and diversity of movement... so please don't hold back on your "rants" . They are valuable and thought provoking. Thank you for sharing such high quality stuff.

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Thank you for sharing your impressions, Andrea. I'm happy to hear the message resonates :) Best wishes and good movement to you 🙏🏽✌🏽

[@yehoshuazohar6698]

Hi Kellen, Just wanted to say thanks for all your tutorials. I have been doing movement training for six months now and I feel a big change in my body. I think that you are really into something very important and something that took me many years to understand - the long term value of "soft" training. I should say that at the age of nearly 67 I am a life long athlete having played football (soccer), basketball, running, swimming, weight training, kettlebell training. Over the years I have suffered numerous injuries. In the long run whats important as one ages is movement, coordination, flexibility and a decent level of strength. Keep up the good work!

[@lisac.2087]

Been following this routine (and all your workouts) for the past 4-5 years despite my brain's inability to stick to the same thing for more than a couple months! You are a blessing man

[@pengthao5994]

It was very inspiring to see someone so passionate about the human body and it's movement capabilities. Thanks for the tutorial, my brother. Keep more of these amazing vids coming. Much respect!!!!

[@jayjaycoyote]

i love your discussion on yoga vs natural movement... makes a lot of sense. as someone who has been a dedicated yoga-practitioner for years... i recently injured myself pretty awfully in the pursuit of dogmatic yoga practices. variety and more natural movement-style practices has largely been what has healed me. thanks for your honest vids and talks

[@christineellerbeck112]

This is one ....if not my favourite so far. An ex dancer....yoga etc.....gotten pretty stiff around inside glute muscles....so lower back problems. This Practice really sorts the lower back and so good to feel comfortable in side splits. Ps...Am 71 years....so this is a godsend for body. Thank you.

[@kndxoxo89]

Thank you so much for sharing amazing videos with your wise messages of not conforming to any one box and to enjoy the whole process!!! As someone who loves to move, groove and play- I am always finding the right balance of moving in ways that both create strength and space!! Keep up the amazing work ❤️

[@carmengym8421]

Hasta ahora me sentía constreñida encerrada enjaulada en las posturas dogmaticas del yoga necesitaba crecer y de tu mano y con los vídeos lo estoy haciendo no sé cómo agradecerte el que comparta todo tu conocimiento de manera gratuita y desinteresada para gente como yo que a veces no sé difícil llegar a fin de mes un abrazo muy fuerte y cuídate mucho

[@MarturiaActsOneEight]

This is one of my favorite sessions from you, Kellen. I think the first time I did this practice was a couple of years ago when I was first discovering your videos. I remember finding it really challenging to tune into my body instead of just trying to copycat your movements. I did the practice again today and it felt so much more natural to tune into my own body and make it my own. Thank you for doing all you do to help people hone their intuition around movement - I have benefited so much from your work.

[@khunngunn]

I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been following you for a while and I do enjoy the movement journey with you. I feel so much flexible than a few months ago. Thank you so much Kellen!!!

[@sonsha9560]

Amazing session! I have noticed that by doing this practice I walk differently, my movements rather feels more fluid. Thank you!

[@DarcyKentActor]

This is a fantastic practice accompanied by some really brilliant commentary and insight. Thanks for making these videos Kellen, they are unlike anything else on youtube.

[@victoriahollingsworth1205]

This is one of my favorite videos to follow along to in the morning. Great for setting intensions and getting my day started on the right foot. Love your videos, they have quite literally changed the way I have started to move and interact in the world both in the gym and in my life. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@FashionIcon85]

This is definitely one of my favorites out your series. Learning to be still and valuing the "softer elements" of movement is something I'm cultivating in my bodywork and other areas of my life, so thank you for speaking on that. I appreciate what you do and I'm so grateful to have discovered this way of moving. Keep on keeping on brutha..

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Much appreciated. From teaching and my own experience, I see many distractions in the world that challenge our presence. It takes a bit of time to understand that slowing down is actually key to growing but that's why I playfully call this "fitness for grown folks". Best wishes.

[@carmengym8421]

Gracias nuevamente por haberlo traducido al español he aprendido muchas cosas para aplicarlas con mis alumnos y las clases

[@chapas4402]

Thanks for the fascinating video I am a yoga instructor based in Argentina and I share the same idea of ​​giving freedom and creativity to the body within the postures, the mind and emotions are cleansed, as when cleaning the house, moving the furniture. Thank you

[@embodiyoga1210]

Always come back to this amazing stretch. Thanks so much.

[@sunnyk111]

Thanks for this. I am really getting a lot from these workouts and not only the movements but your mentality as well. Keep up the good work, it is appreciated!

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

I truly appreciate reading that, thank you. I'm happy to hear you're getting value from the content. Through your practice, I know you'll be inspiring other people to move more! Best wishes!

[@JohnCraic89]

Love the philosophy. Excellent video.

[@ValerijaGorina]

Thank you so much for this practice! Really enjoyed just moving along and listening to where and how my body needed to move.

[@okeisen]

I really can’t tel how much I love this and the value in this practice! Thank you 🙏🏻👑

[@neilspye]

PLease keep going with everything you are doing! Love it!!!

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Awesome! This is life now so I guess I'll just keep rolling with it. Please feel free to reach out on whatever platform if you ever have any feedback or requests for videos. Thanks very much for following along!

[@stephaniebrossard3830]

I love this movement practice. The bridge rotations are my favourite. As a kid unused to fall back into complete bridge and pop back up all the time, and while I still have the flexibility, at some point I stopped doing it, and now there is fear around it (and I can't figure out how to just stand up from the bridge position anymore). These bridge rotations allow me to play with getting into and out of full bridge (or wheel, whatever you want to call it) dynamically with a sense of fun and without fear. Thank you!

[@shellydaniel4833]

For me, this is one of your best. Loved the perspective of not limiting ourselves to a construct...I started with hard core workouts, then yoga, but now I'm enjoying mobility in this season of my life. Thank you!

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Ha. Thanks Shelly! I definitely prefer my newer videos but glad you found some gems in this throwback session.

[@starhr7248]

You are awesome! I love all your videos. Thank you for posting them.

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Haha thank you for watching them! Super happy you're finding them helpful and getting all that movement goodness in your life!

[@itkurakina]

Thank you! This was insightful!

[@David-ok5cu]

That was really a big thing this vid. Love it. So much inputs during these exercices. Thank you very much for your ideas of moving

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Thanks very much for watching, David. In movement, there's so much that goes on underneath the surface. I love talking about it all, there's very few hard rules but so much to explore. Best wishes to you.

[@2033971]

Imagining the snake's movement gave me out of body feeling, and I felt more creative in my movement. This is addictive! Thank You!

[@dannymeske3821]

Very yoga-like. Namaste!

[@tinypumpkinseed]

Loved EVERY minute!! Thank you THANK YOU so much for these videos!!!

[@jesslevenson3595]

Hey Kellen, this is one of the best fitness videos on youtube, for real. Thank you for the practice and especially your insights into life and health.

[@carmengym8421]

Muy buena esa rutina he podido realizarla de manera completa y la voy a utilizar en mis clases con gentes de la tercera edad aquí en España concretamente en Castilla La Mancha nuevamente otra vez gracias por tu claridad tu profesionalidad y el que te dirijas a todo tipo de personas no solamente los que son grandes atletas como tú si no gente más sencillas y mayores como yo un abrazo y cuídate mucho

[@anhchipham2027]

Thank you so much for this video and your channel. It's very generous of you. I'm new to natural movement, and am loving it. It provides the antidote to the linear movements in yoga that I have been finding limiting.

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Absolutely! I find my body especially benefits from all the rotational movements that emerge in these practices. Thanks very much for following along!

[@TheKristinaVlog]

Thank you for this video! What a great one it was! I love the message you are sending and this channel is definitely underrated, keep up the good work!

[@MarturiaActsOneEight]

Loved both the routine and the commentary. Thank you so much for these videos!

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Great to hear! Thank you for watching!

[@elzizgor]

I love the movements as usual and the philosophy that you express. It's like as soothing for the body that it is for the mind. Thank you very much!!!

[@le_mushok]

Awesome channel with great workouts. I am so glad that I have found it for my dayly workout routine. Thank you a lot

[@sashakarmas3045]

Love your videos! Very comprehensive and there's always something to aspire to. Keep them coming!

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Thank you so much! I love making them and the ideas are coming more quickly now. Best wishes.

[@moniquelawson1811]

Thanks for another practice, accessible for all types of abilities.

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@yolandas.anderson3818]

Amazing! Those movements are exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for sharing the videos.🙏

[@cayotelives]

Brilliant . Explanation of what goes in your mind and focus on body parts. Good job bro

[@Tiabri86]

Amazing video! Great movement practice and beautiful and interesting speech! Really enjoyed it. Thank you very much for sharing!

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@FranciscoFragateiro]

release tension and soften the spirit. Thanks mate...

[@sindeyderooij3496]

Thsnk you. I enjoy your videos a lot and it is relaxing. I always feel great after I follow along.

[@Nabisanat]

Tank you for sharing this life changing practice, it sets my body free.

[@claudiaportilla1446]

What an excellent session in every single way! Thank you for this

[@yaamama1]

This was brilliant. You are amazing. The compassion and wisdom that you share is felt and appreciated. I especially needed this practice today. Thank you.

[@sarahbullenbookmentor]

Love all your workouts ! Been working on them all lockdown

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Excellent! The practice of movement and the practice of writing have much in common!

[@Frankly155]

This is such a wonderful resource, and I know it’s good because I keep coming back to it and learning a bit more about my body each time. The control required to transition smoothly between moves really tweaks your focus. I’m passionate about movement, but my spinal mobility is something I need to work on. This is really helping.

[@mayal6475]

Thank you very much! This helps me a lot. Can´t remember since when I came this easy in the bridge position... Really great!

[@Tresimon00]

You are the TRUTH! Love everyone of your workouts! Your practice is exately my style Freestyle flowing!

[@drtoniawinchester]

Thanks Kellen! So many good insights for movement and LIFE in this vid.

[@mikelaycock1469]

Sooooo good. Am feeling so alive all over after that session. Thanks for offering it Kellen.

[@alexisbartolina]

THE best movement video ive seen so far. Can't wait to use some of these in my classes. I really resonated with everything you said in this video. Sometimes I want to completely disassociate myself with the term yoga teacher and just call myself a movement instructor!!

[@DelfinaPaulaBonillaLopez]

My body felt sooo good after this. Loved the spinal undulations and the end was such a great challenge for me.

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Great! I definitely gotta bring in spinal waves more often. Maybe those will be a perfect fit in your morning routine!

[@dylananalley1876]

I appreciate you Kellen. Thank you for this practice, your knowledge and your time. :)

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

That's super nice to hear, thank you so much. Best wishes and good movement to you.

[@conniekaler]

Love everything you say in this video and how it relates to every part of my life ❤️

[@moshekorem]

This is gold. Makes so much sence Keep on keeping on. Thanx 4 sharing

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Thank you very much for watching and your kind words. I'll keep the videos coming. Best wishes!

[@96Marby]

What an inspiring and eye-opening practice. You share quality of life!

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Happy that you found the channel! I hope the videos will be a helpful guide for you to explore movement in a way that feels good!

[@gregpetersen6138]

Gratitude: Love movement theory thanks to you, really nailed it with this one!

[@lusystepanova5878]

It is too enjoyable!! And your voice relaxes greatly, I wanted it to sound more and more❤ This type of sport is totally mine, thanks for spreading this🙏

[@kikkariitta2722]

Looking forward to this after my evening walk! Thank you Kellen for this new video!

[@carmengym8421]

Me ha gustado mucho y he hecho el ejercicio muy bien aunque ya tengo 60 años he podido seguir tú práctica me ha gustado mucho la relación que has establecido con el yoga y quiero que sepas que yo estoy también uniendo el movimiento natural con el yoga experimentando con mis alumnos y buscando la salud ante todo tus clases y tus explicaciones me son muy útiles gracias por traducirlo a español y gracias por compartirlo con todos nosotros recibe un fuerte abrazo

[@raminfelfeli7701]

Legend! Thank you so much! These are becoming a part of my daily routine whilst in quarantine. Much Love brother!

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

That's awesome, happy to hear it. Thank you!

[@kikkariitta2722]

Oh I just loved this practice - so beneficial to my problem areas - tight hips (improving, though, thanks to your routines) and low back tension. Kneel to deep squat as well as split kneel to half kneel felt so good. -I really appreciate these movement practices and your comments. It is always a joy and pleasure to practice with you. Thank you so much! And now let me wish you a very happy Christmas!

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Taking the time to linger in these positions and feel all the little details is amazing. Sometimes a challenge to make time for it, but never a let down when you do. Thank you as always, it's great to hear from you! A very happy holiday season to you too!

[@elchicorico44]

Ohhh gracias! J'adore. Just in the right moment I found it. I really love the way you explain the practice ant he feelings in my body after did that. Thank you,

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Yes!! You're welcome! I hope to get you hook on good movement because the way it makes your body feel just keeps getting better. Thanks for watching!

[@shantitanna8033]

Impressive videos ! Love your vids. Keep going for us , thank you

[@adameve15]

Just capped off the day today with this practice. Not too intense but not necessarily easy. I added a few here and there to feel what I wanted to happen but at the same time check in from time to time whether I could make it happen or not. I try to apply the same with my yoga practice because I believe it is essential to not be too defined by the rigidity of a construct without compromising though the essential patterns that are inherent to the practice, however you define the latter. Thanks Coach! 🙏

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

You totally get it - being an active explorer in your movement practice. Perfect! I love it. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@mnktfn]

What an amazing movement session, thank you so much!

[@semu8143]

I love your videos, such great workouts

[@lanaleah]

This was my first movement video of yours. I chose a short one. It was challenging. I will continue. I strive for more flexibility and am not a fan of yoga but I like these movements. Thanks, Kellen.

[@Yaran86]

Just found out about your channel and love the movement patterns. Makes so much sense. From now on, I'll try a different movement video each week, see where it get's me:) Thanks!

[@ngaromagraham3767]

Live your work brother I feel amazing and look forward to a better living life 🕊

[@josafatsolis1497]

This is an amazing routine- very liberating, many thanks 🙏🏾

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Glad it was helpful!

[@okeisen]

It’s therapy and it is for free!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@zaimahbegum-diamond1660]

I did this outside on a sunny day. It was awesome hearing about the information on rigid movements and how each move has to be executed perfectly according to some people. I just relaxed after hearing that. Thank you. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽

[@mikelaycock1469]

Wow. So good. I feel like a fish in water, it feels so natural. Love your narrative Kellen which really brings it all together and to life. Keep going:)

[@Paikuhan_Lo]

That’s my new morning mobility routine! Thanks🙏🏽

[@MicheleZaylaMusic]

loved this chat and move. So true that generally, culture seems to have sexualized some of these movements, so if you are doing them out in the world at the gym, etc, it can be seen a certain way, or even inviting something, instead of just moving in all the ways the body needs. Appreciate your thoughts and reflections while guiding the movement.

[@Yes2LifeShow]

That was awesome. Quite some issues in my thoracic spine when trying bdriges but feeling super relaxed and quite mobile now after the practice Thank you

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

Really happy to hear you enjoyed the practice! I have a lot more coming down the pipeline with this type of mobility work. Thanks for watching and best wishes!

[@sriyer03]

Amazing flow thank you for sharing, I loved the comments too

[@R6A6T6M6]

Love so much all you say during the video about the conscious movement that we should aim for in the practice. You're such an inspiraton and a model for my practice. This philosophy of exercice and life really resonate with me. That's the vibration I was ooking for! I'm so grateful that your share such a precious knowledge with us! Thank you Kellen, I wish you all the best and hope you'll continue this lightful work

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

So happy to hear the movement & the methods resonate with you. My sincere thanks🙏🏽✌🏽

[@tomakram872]

Super video learned alot hope your well keep it up bro awesome

[@mjq5863]

This was AWESOME on 13July2021! Thank you Kellen, really enjoyed moving with you and the slow steady progress that I am making since summer 2020. London 💜

[@sonnenstrahl8923]

Amazing, I love this way so much and I really love to combine your exercises in my classes. That is exactly what I looked for!! Thank you so much🌹

[@matteoscotto7289]

Amazing as always...

[@dharris4318]

over three years late, but.... Kellen, Sir you are spitting straight Spiritual knowledge. I appreciate you, I appreciate your experience, existence, awareness and heart. Keep Shining. 💫

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

I appreciate you and this acknowledgment. Thank you for your support. Best wishes on your journey, friend!🙏🏽✌🏽

[@jhiaaa]

this is so nice after my workout!

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

This stuff is so important but can easily get short changed. Good on you for getting it in after a workout! Cheers!

[@dusanb.812]

Thank you. Very well put together. I think I have flexibility of an oak tree and this is really helping. .

[@jacquelynwozniak7471]

holy cow this is amazing!!!! thank you!!!!!

[@НатальяНазаренко-э5й]

Great exercises 👍🔥💯!!!!

[@leighyoga]

Great, first time here, I'll back daily 🧡😊

[@Ssssyyyyyyyyyy]

So much value! Thank you for sharing sir.

[@Ssssyyyyyyyyyy]

As for yoga, it's a very good part of a physical practice, but if it's the only one, it may not be as useful. Most yogis just don't move well. They are strong in rigid asanas, not in a flow. There are some exceptions like some Strala Yoga practicioners, but that whole branch is based on natural movement and tai-chi in first place which may explain why, and why I like it the most. Watching Mike Taylor's tension-less yoga is a treat for me.

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

That's the goal! Thank you so much for watching! Best wishes.

[@KemoMarriott]

I need these in my life at the moment. well timed as I have some flexibility goals

[@StrengthFlowFitness]

No doubt! I always feel so much better when I'm consistently practicing this stuff. Cheers.

[@ajchanter]

Loved this practice this morning, I feel it really benefits as preparation and priming of my body for my weight training later. And just feels fantastic! Great commentary, again, and I loved the tangent on the yoga/dogmatic mentality haha! Can I ask what courses or sources of learning you've taken to reach the level of integrated knowledge, skill and approach you have currently? I'm looking into courses to do but often find them too dogmatic or conventional, and looking for something that is very much in line with the way you present here. Thank you so much!!!

[@mariameininger9672]

Thank you for this stretch Workout. I love this. Grüße aus Deutschland von Maria.

[@AmandabellaDay]

this video and audio was goddamn amazing my man. Thank you for this.
