Thank you for the stretches I would like to do the seven day challenge

[@EveryonecallsmeMAMA]

Thanks!

[@solgazer607]

just did this practice for the first time. recently lost my senior year colligate season to COVID-19, so I'm not technically an athlete anymore... When you said "the athlete in me recognizes the athlete in you" it made me tear up a little. Namaste, and stay safe everyone!

[@alexanderjimenez1698]

You're still an athlete!

[@vishalsinghdhamiak47]

Namaste🙏 from India

[@CFTWFILMS]

Love this one too. I appreciate you getting right into it. No chit chat stuff at the beginning of your sessions.

[@alexanderjimenez1698]

What I LOVE Most about this Woman!!!

[@UmamiTsunami.]

Yes this 100%

[@ryanlee6904]

the ending of this was the most relaxing thing ever bruh. i literally felt like i left my body

[@rachelcourter2723]

[@Lee-mc2fr]

I about fell asleep

[@volityle8624]

I wish more people understood how amazing yoga is.

[@Domosanmb]

Same. I'm plus size and the amount of ppl that are surprised by how flexible I am is amazing. 🤣

[@dustinkesner8706]

I'm a pallet rebuilder it's a rough job and your video has helped me release years of tension from standing on concrete using a hammer a crowbar and a nail gun. Your video is absolutely phenomenal your really a hero. Thank you so much! Namaste

[@prairierose_]

Your advice about the key to deep breathing being deep exhalations = life changing! (Or at least the yoga part of my life!) My chest always felt so tight when I tried to breathe deeply, but now it feels so open and relaxed. Thank you!!

[@sarahbethyoga]

Oooh I'm so glad that part spoke to you!

[@notbeingsarcastic5947]

Me too

[@saimich]

Same for me! I have been struggling with my breathing for so long this was a great revelation and great video!

[@olkid]

This really helped me too!!! Thank you x

[@tophlovr]

This changed the way I will breathe forever! She is so good at explaining the physical aspect of stretching!

[@itispale]

Thanks

[@sarahbethyoga]

Thank you!

[@michellecona8016]

I like how your videos the instruction is voice over and not the person practicing. Very good practice. Thank you.

[@keiracooney1867]

80% of this video was you lying silently with calming music. LOVED IT!!!! you have such talent

[@kunzangpaldron5942]

this is not just yoga..it's a blissful experience for your mind, body and soul

[@veronikakelman8364]

I've exercised to three of your videos and I feel so much better and its only been three days!

[@exploringuncertainty]

I put in at least 20-30 minutes of yoga before and after dance sessions/workouts. Not about to let the psoas and calf muscles get tight, or it’ll leave me with lower back and knee pain. I’ve experienced it before. Didn’t start doing this until 6 months ago. The mobility I’ve gained from yoga helps me go harder than I’ve been able to before.

[@mj8350]

Wow, this calmed me down so much, and as a person with usually a very stressful schedule, this was amazing. I appreciate you just getting right into it. I’m subscribing!

[@juliejohnson-unwin8146]

I used this video while recovering from Covid. While hospitalized, my physician showed me a position to help clear and strengthen my lungs. I recognized it as childs pose. I was able to keep my flexibility, and help to improve my breathing. Thank You for your wonderful videos!

[@marinaalex0510]

Have a quick recovery!

[@randeemiller1954]

3 years later and still one of my favorite routines.💙💙💙

[@jaibacon]

Thank you Sarah Beth. Really. Good help with back shoulder pain.

[@thousandfacescosplay]

Wanted to thank you for this video. I'm a Bodybuilder and I'm often extremely tight. Most beginner yoga videos don't focus on what I need for relief or aren't as beginner as they seem to think. This was just right. Definitely going to be following this over and over

[@rachelweinstein248]

For a while now I have not been doing a good job at taking care of my mind or my body. I decided to change that by starting to work out again. I found this video in hopes of helping myself with the soreness. I was thoroughly confused when I started to tear up at the end. I looked it up and found that yoga can help with emotional release. Thank you for helping me heal both my body and my mind.

[@hilarygresham7535]

i love the pretzel mixed in with the twist!! good job Sarah Beth!

[@Thomas-sv6jr]

Great format. I like that you don't rush through poses so I can get settled and figure out what my body allows. Thanks.

[@anavlad5546]

I`m always looking forward for the half pigeon pose ! It`s one of my favourites and it always gets me super excited

[@Dylan-di1hq]

👌 No bullshit, very clear & concise. Sarah Beth has some of the best yoga videos on KZbin by a long shot.

[@sarkakulova5071]

@sarathbehyoga please never stop doing what you are doing! So grateful for your content! Thank you so much!xx

[@connect2gary]

My favorite routine for sure

[@Wellnessandmassage]

Love this Sequence , also your the pace and bonus you have a soothing voice

[@mckaylarenae3950]

“Spend one minute practicing total relaxation”. My toddler: “mama, mama, mama, mama”

Lol I can see that.😃

[@annajohnson2496]

[@anniechan6296]

Am sorry mama but I had to laugh at that comment

[@RanaMiller]

Thank you 🙏 Needed this stretch. Going to subscribe.

[@meganroberts7111]

Awesome video sarah!

[@becasoto]

Bae and I really love doing this workout together. Neither of us are consistent yoga practitioners although I do it more and we both find the directions to be helpful and easy to understand. We’re very grateful our friend sent it to us!

[@UmamiTsunami.]

Its been such a big rollercoaster over the past few months, and in the midst of another ugly cry sesh i felt compelled to youtube search stretching and healing. Two videos in and I am reminded of how much I love yoga, its been years and i forgot how grounding and releasing it can be. Going to try makinh this a daily habit. Thankyou for these straight into it and wonderful videos!

[@sarahbethyoga]

Welcome back. I do have a 7 day challenge to help you back into a daily practice. You can sign up for my free 7-day beginner yoga challenge here: bit.ly/SB-BYC 💙

[@ladykws]

3/16/2023. Thursday. Not sure how it has been nearly a year since my last visit to this practice, but boy oh boy did it show me that I have been neglectful. More yoga for me, not just hard workouts. Thank you, as always!

[@hilaryperry184]

Great video. Love the limited banter and simple explinaitons that get you stright from one movement to the next.

[@michelefavero5921]

I teach Bodypump 5 days a week, so by the end of the week (even though I don't always lift heavy) my body is sore. I've been doing your videos for 2 weeks now, and they have helped my body to soften and release, and not be in a hypertonic state. I even mention your videos in my class. I also like how videotaped your classes. The setting is calming; and there are no distractions. I also like the fact, that the videos are just long enough for me to fit into my busy work and mom schedule. Thank you!

[@lastnitesparty3017]

My eyes well up when it’s hands at heart center and you say namaste. It first happened during one of your hip/ grief sessions and felt a euphoria I never thought achievable. 🙏🏼

[@CFRHD]

Really enjoyed the pretzel stretch!!!! Excellent and thanks!!!!!

[@maryannedrew5416]

Very easy to follow! I'm 70. Love these routines.

[@christianheim33]

I'm so glad I've subscribed to this channel! The videos that are listed as "beginner" are actually for beginners. (unlike some channels I've seen) I'm doing some of your intermediate stretches, and you've really helped me out. Reminding me to not only breathe but to relax my jaw and face muscles, as I always had a tendency to be tense in my jaw while stretching. You also said something during this stretch that I never heard or really thought of until now. "The key to deep breathing isn't inhaling deeply, but exhaling deeply." I've done hundreds of guided meditations, and a decent amount of yoga. Never heard it til now. Thank you for that. It's something I've now practiced in meditation. I just signed up for your 7 day challenge, and I'm psyched to see what's in store! Keep up the great work!

[@loridz77]

I've been adding on yoga to the end of all my weight and cardio training and love these 20 minute or less videos. Great workout. Thank you.

[@sarahbethyoga]

You're so welcome! Thank YOU for watching 💙

[@reginaasher5860]

Love this Yoga Stretch. I have told so many people about your Stretch Yoga for Athletes. Thank you!

[@Martian_0]

that last line brought a genuine smile to my face🌻 thank you Sarah Beth

[@marynguyen8559]

First time trying yoga! It was so relaxing i nearly fell asleep. Thankyou and Namaste :)

[@roslynsalazar8589]

After 30 years of (mostly at home yoga practice) I can finally breathe deeply, something I feared I would never get the hang of. I love all of your newer video's. This is one of my favorites!! Namaste.

[@fabianepeng1145]

I was looking for a video like this for months. I’m glad that I found it. Plus your voice is beautiful! Ready for a good night of sleep!

[@DragoNYC]

Hi Sarah Beth. Thank you for another wonderful practice. I started bike riding again and before I started my yoga practice with Sarah Beth (4 months now), I had issues with my knees. I was looking for a good stretch for my lower back, hips and knees and this practice and some of your other practices, worked out very well for me. Sarah Beth thank you so much.

[@spiritualak5147]

I swear my kundalini almost activated from this after that one stretch the spinal twist to leg grab I started legit laughing and crying so much emotion

[@debbiereeves1669]

Sara Beth yoga are my go to since the pandemic started. Absolutely the best!

[@lilagonzales1145]

I’m only a young adult but working in retail and standing for eight hours straight leaves me with high anxiety and soreness in my muscles. I’ve been experimenting with several different exercise videos but your videos are always my favorites. I’ve been trying to move away from ten minute video for beginners and focus on the slightly more advanced and longer videos, I’ve gotta say this is my favorite. It makes me feel so much better. Thank you.

[@mariekaram3317]

Amazing love this workout Yoga

[@sanahaque2003]

Incredible video and doable for regular non-athletes as well! Thanks so much

[@mikewright7048]

Thank you for this!

[@gabslambrick]

I discovered your yoga videos a few weeks ago, and I've been using them a lot. Thanks so much! I really appreciate your calm voice, telling us just enough to do the movements and not so much as to confuse us. Your phrase "Let go of whatever you don't need" (actually I don't think it was in this one) has become a bit of a mantra for me when I'm trying not to strain my shoulders while cycling. Thanks again :)

[@Sam.zondi_]

So refreshing!!!!!!!

[@jamesparrish1730]

Another positive experience...discovered some imbalances (left tighter than right) and def got some good movement.

[@JJLiberman]

loved this one !!

[@SqeeM3]

This video randomly popped up in my feed and I decided to give it a try. I have chronic lower back issues and am constantly in a fair amount of pain. I have done beginner yoga before so I was pretty familiar with the moves done in this video. Immediately after following this video for the first time I noticed a huge improvement in my lower back pain. I expected to be sore the next morning but I wasn't. I was able to get out of bed with little discomfort and stiffness. Before trying this yoga, getting out of bed meant a lot of back pain and stiffness. I have done a few other videos in this channel but this particular one is the only one (so far. I'm going to try more!) that really helps with my lower back pain. I like how the instructor isn't constantly talking and the music is soothing. Love this channel! 🥰

[@sarahbethyoga]

Thank you for being here and the kind words 💙💙

[@MrChadLedford]

Wow that was great!!!

[@treestanvera8493]

LOVE YOUR STUFF!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@ramdesvaux]

Girl, I am liking these Sunday morning routines. They are perfect for Sunday! Thanks so much. And, just to say, you are the only person I follow. Your videos are my go-to videos every time. I try to have a daily practice, but it's difficult as I suffer from ME (Myalgic encephalomyelitis) & Fibromyalgia. But I can always find at least ONE video that will suit how my body (and mind) is doing that day.

[@sarahbethyoga]

I love that you're getting so much from my channel! Keep it up!

[@polkadotpanda33]

Absolutely love this routine. It is the perfect balance of cool down and stretch to finish off my workouts. Thank you SarahBeth!

[@sarahbethyoga]

You're SO welcome!

[@JesseDishner]

Good tip on the deep breathing, never realized a deep exhale was the key to a deep inhale.

[@Lel927]

Very nice and ur voice is so comforting

[@hezkittypaws8265]

Excellent video. Clear, descriptive, no bs, and helpful. The insight into deep breathing is simple but powerful.

[@kimacierno5716]

Thank you for allowing me in your practice! 💙

Thanks Sara ! I been doing the night yoga every night and it does help me to sleep ! Thanks a million !!!

Hello Sarah Beth. Thank you for this video. When I go bike riding I follow this video as my morning Yoga practice to get my legs stretched and ready for my ride. Thank you again Sarah Beth.

[@vilenagilyaeva7727]

Thank You!!! I am new to yoga and love your videos! thank you!

This was such a great stretch before the start of the new week. Thank you Sarah Beth for always providing just what we need to continually build up our yoga practice!

[@sarahbethyoga]

Great use of this video!

[@gianwestwood4587]

Deadass she probably saved me from injury multiple times with these routines

[@TerrieReed-x1b]

The best stretch I’ve had in a yoga program in only 20 minutes!

[@jamieb.7095]

This is my favorite video for a quick morning yoga routine. I travel a lot for work so this series is my go to practice when I have limited time.

[@rezahejazi8686]

Really feel good after your practices and this one also is nice. Namaste.

[@aliceluppi9420]

@@kennygomien Good to know, thank you!

[@ryleesandiford3181]

This has helped me so much! I have done other yoga tutorials for hips and back that have never quite helped me but I saw your video and thought to give it a shot and I am so happy I did!!I feel so much better and actual got my lower back to loosen up and pop with the pretzel twist. I don't know if that's good or not, but my hip flexors, quads, hamstrings, and back feel so much looser and more relax now. You also explain things so well that I didn't have to watch the video and could just close my eyes and relax. Thank you so much for your videos!!

[@tylernguyen861]

it was really helpful how you pointed out to relax the muscles in the face. it really works and I have not put an emphasis to that until this practice

[@kimkipping4840]

Love love love this graceful stretch

[@CoachTammyLee]

I race mountain bikes and I absolutely enjoyed this routine. I combine it with a few of your other vids to target areas I need but like to begin with this one. Thank you!

[@CoachTammyLee]

@@fittss Cross-country, mainly marathon and stage racing. I'm currently training for Moab Rocks and Singletrack 6. Have you ever heard of them? Where do you ride? I don't have a lot of experience with DH but I did ride at Whistler, BC once and it blew my mind.

[@troublekat86]

thanks so much I enjoyed your video, it was nice to go a little bit deeper than ever with my breaths and it did help me to relax more. Keep up the good work

[@martimayhew342]

This video was very helpful for my aching back...thank you.

This was great! Great reminders throughout. Never knew the exhale was more important for space than the inhale!

[@darceysimpson-u4u]

Lol the comments have moved but it led me to see some more videos which I’ve add to my playlist. I really enjoyed this. Very simple but effective. I missed 3 days of my yoga and gosh my body felt it. Thank you for all your great videos 🙏💋❤️

[@marinaalex0510]

I have skipped this video because it's marked "for Athletes" and I am far from being an athlete, lol. Today I've tried it anyway, and I am so glad and grateful. And except for replacing the Pigeon with the figure 4 as I always do anyway, and not being able to add a Pretzel variation to a spinal twist, I've managed to do everything and enjoyed. THANK YOU, Sarah Beth!

[@sdcdwyer42]

I do this session everyday! It’s the best. By far my favorite yoga session ever. The classes at my gym just don’t get me calm enough

[@saraanjad9507]
