Thank you very very much for showing us how to do these poses in a standing or sitting position! I am unable to get up from the floor. HELLO Bob, nice to see you again!

[@BobandBrad]

You are very welcome, happy to help

[@trishhickson1550]

I’m just 70 and do a lot of yoga. It definitely keeps me mobile. It was interesting to know just how good child’s pose is.

[@BobandBrad]

Yes! Keep it up!

[@MNP208]

I love child's pose... I could fall asleep in that pose!

[@HeidiZiegele]

YAY!!! This is the first time I've ever seen "yoga" poses explained this way. Usually yoga content is just demonstrating how to do the move properly. I really like the more detailed explanation of what parts of the body are affected. Way to go taking the yoga concept and making it your own. I LOVE IT!

[@LynetteHerselman]

[@BoboEnterprises1968]

Yoga was the best medicine when I was going through menopause. I was developing frozen shoulder and hip problems/pain and within three months I was more flexible and no pain. It even helped the scar tissue in my lower abdomen(was having cramps from scar tissue). These are the problems they don’t tell you about(joint changes).

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for sharing!

1)Child’s Pose 2)Cat/Cow 3)Downward Dog All 3 wonderfully modified if necessary! Thank you for showing us all the healthy ways to customize the Poses to meet our needs and especially for teaching us what areas of the body they stretch,strengthen,and help. You guys are the best!👍

[@conniewagner8294]

I hadn't been doing downward dog because it really hurt my knees. Your modification doing it standing feels great on my knees. Thank you. You've motivated me to start doing some poses daily!

[@alligatorseverywhere7233]

Loving the chemistry between you all three. I’m a yoga teacher and will share this vid with my 50+ golden yogis. Thank you guys!

[@Clarky1951]

I do these 2-3 times a week. I love the downward dog. In the downward dog position, I walk my hands into my feet and slowly come up. I’ve been doing pilates for 10 years, so these stretches are relatively easy for me. Even at 72. These stretches really, really do alleviate back discomfort and keep you mobile.

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for sharing!

[@esme011]

I started yoga when I retired 2 years ago. I take either a senior focused class or restorative/stretching class. I love it and feel it helps with flexibility , mobility and stress relief

[@MsArtistwannabe]

I just started yoga seven months ago. I’m finding it very beneficial. Even with my asthma. All the breath work has helped quite a bit.

[@lindarose712]

Good stuff, and love seeing Bob, whose humor and direction of the episodes shines through- love that small bloopers were included 😀

[@BobandBrad]

Happy to hear it!

[@joycej9415]

When I had to go to physical therapy for back pain I realized the exercises they gave me were similar to yoga. I had been ill and not kept up my yoga, hence back pains. Yoga is the best thing to keep us flexible and pain free in old age. The cat part of the cat/cow is not good if you have been diagnosed in osteopena or with osteoporosis. If so check into what twists and stretches you should not do ... but do yoga! Yoga has helped me very much as I age.

[@cmetz49]

Wonderful, thank you. So nice to hear Bob at the end! What a lovely way to end the video! Mike is doing a great job!

[@naheedali8035]

Really needed these exercises and liked the alternatives given. Please Continue these videos. Welcome Mike you were great and praying for Bob’s health.

[@cynthiaurtz4921]

Great job with Mike and Brad. Loved seeing Bob at the end. Fantastic new team! 🥰👍👍

[@cindyhoupthealthymovement8483]

Great tutorial! As a retired nurse turned certified yoga teacher, I love to blend my Western medical background with my ever growing Eastern knowledge! My love of both has inspired me to pursue a certification through the International Association of Yoga Therapists This is an intense 2 "plus "year program and is above and beyond my initial yoga teaching certifications . The training reminds me of my nursing education years ago in that the first year is comprised of lectures and textbooks, while the second year is a series of practicums/clinicals (working one on one with clients, under the supervision of a mentor). I am a little over half way through my studies now. A Yoga Therapist would be a valuable addition to a multitude of Western health and wellness practices, including P.T. Yoga treats the mind, body, and spirit! Namaste ;)

[@shirleyharold1698]

Wow! This is really helping me- to my surprise!!! I started doing these 3 stretches a few weeks ago. At first, I could not do much, but little by little, my body started to be able to do more! I'm very surprised, so thankful. Thank you Bob & Brad, please keep these yoga for seniors coming!!!!!

Just a tip for those with knee issues. Lululemon sells stackable yoga cushions which can be used for your knees or hands. I find them very helpful.

These stretches have really helped me with my lower back ache. I love the modified stretches which I can try at my work desk. Thank you

[@4624Denise]

Thank you for the reminder that I really need to start these exercises again. When I went to physical therapy for my back they gave me 13 exercises and it really got me overwhelmed; I'm now going to work on these three and maybe work up to more after these become a habit.

[@angelachartier838]

I enjoyed your video, you two are very relatable which means you’re getting a lot more people stretching. In pilates we drop our head at the end of the cat and let the weight of it give a further stretch. It feels great.

[@huh451]

This is so great!!! I've gone to yoga classes, off and on, for 15 years. They're great for posture, balance, and strength - all important for us seniors. But none of my teachers could help me with the frequent HEADACHES I was having and that were making me miserable. One day, I decided to google headache ("neck headache," actually, because they seemed to start in my neck) and, lo and behold! BOB AND BRAD explained exactly what was wrong (cervicogenic headache) and how to fix it!!! PHYSICAL THERAPY IS GREAT CROSS-TRAINING FOR YOGA, and vice-versa! When you're sick or injured, physical therapy is so helpful. And, when you're doing pretty good, yoga (and breathing/meditation practice) is wonderful... and HI BOB!!!🙂❤

[@BobandBrad]

Glad you liked it! Hi!!

[@partonsteiner]

Yoga has helped my cervical and lumbar spine issues more than anything else. I have no problem getting up and down on the floor, but I have wrist and hand pain, so I have to really limit the weight on my wrists. It's frustrating, but a good, gentle Yoga class will teach you modifications. I feel like my arms are getting weaker because of the arthritic hand/wrist issue.

I’ve been doing yoga off & on, but have started doing it more often. I have glaucoma, and I do not do the downward dog, or any pose where my head is lower than my heart, due to the possibility of increase in eye pressure. Thank you for showing a version where my head does not need to go so low.
