MORNING YOGA FOR CHRONIC PAIN & STIFF JOINTS

[@lindaneighbors4158]

Thank you. This is perfect for this 60 year old, overweight, arthritic body. It shows me just how out of shape I am, while at the same time being a practice I feel is totally doable where I am at right now.

[@minavane5533]

I love your yoga practices! You should write a book on them! I would be first in line.

[@fitzywings92]

I've had chronic shoulder pain for about 2 years and after this one session I feel a relief immediately afterward that I never felt from physio or other yoga videos... How did you do that?! Grateful ❤️

[@kimberlyearly8918]

Thank you for this practice! I used to be a yoga teacher and therapist and now this is challenging for me. I'm going to keep at it and hopefully gain my strength back!

[@anacarranza6640]

Thank you, Rachel! It is very nice to share every morning with you here NAMASTE

[@anacarranza6640]

I am so honored to follow you, NAMASTE 💕🙏💕

[@kimberlygodsil4168]

Thank you ! I now have a renewed sense of hope and a new morning go to❤ also this is reaching areas mainly hips, lower and upper back that i really need the streching and strengthening- Thank you very much!!

[@julieanderson5640]

i am so depressed, i cant seem to get any where anymore. im in a rigouras stretch PT twice a week, plus yoga. i swear its my gut that pulls me down some days. not my back that makes my fall forward. arg........ i choose your routines the most, because you can tell you really have health problems, and believe in what youre doin. it does cheer me up while i practice with your routines, so keep sharing. thx

Julie Anderson lose weight! I lost 65 pounds and cleaned up my diet and about 99 percent of the pains went away. I still have arthritis but the symptoms are so much less,

[@donnajohnson5923]

My depression left too. I stumbled onto this. I wanted a better me, but I had no idea.

@@donnajohnson5923 Thanks for this comment! You've given me hope!

[@katiecupcake7317]

I have ME & fibro. Just done this and found it so helpful and relaxing! Thank you so much for taking the time to film this xx

[@SantoshaSpirit]

So happy to hear that! ☺️❤️

[@sonjebianca2483]

My case as well. I do this one pretty much daily and usually add in a child’s pose towards the end. That really helps relax my lower spine and pelvic floor muscles.

[@musicislife2106]

I did the first little bit before stretching out my legs because I was in a lot of pain before bed. My back cracked perfectly, thank you!

[@SantoshaSpirit]

That is the best feeling 😌

[@LittleWaffle]

Hello, I've been suffering from chronic pain for several years, and the yoga and meditation you teach are just perfect for me. So glad I stumbled upon your channel, thank you! Wishing you all the best ❤️

[@SantoshaSpirit]

Amé L. Thank you so much for your comment! It warms my heart to know my classes are helping you ☺️💕🙏🏼

[@LittleWaffle]

Sleepy Santosha You're most welcome! Your classes are a blessing: keep it up please ^^

[@anacarranza6640]

I feel so good after your practice today, thanks 🙏 NAMASTE💕

[@cathyconnell5821]

I am new to yoga I LOVE His Sweet spirit in you and the soft flowing music. Thank you so much

[@lisacarmen8190]

what a wonderful way to start the day! thank you.

[@kendellbauer_taves9207]

I love the affirmations at the end

[@spicybiscuit88]

Finally got round to doing this and it was great! Has helped my stiffness, energy and mood. I think i overdid it a bit doing the whole thing on the first go, as ive triggered some post exertional malaise, but i still feel better, if that makes sense. Next time i do it i think ill just do each stretch once or twice rather than repeating them, and work up to doing the whole video with the repetitions. Thanks so much Rachel, i think this is a yoga video i can actually do! 💜😊 xx

[@SantoshaSpirit]

That definitely makes sense! Sometimes we have to make an energy investment that takes away from us at first but gives back twofold later ❤️

[@SammySprinks]

This was so beautiful and amazing. Thank you

[@sarahtedder6896]

Is there a modification for staff pose? I find it really challenging. And is there another video with more morning opening for lower body as well? This seems mostly geared toward upper body. Thank you! Really pleased to have found your channel as I have Fibromyalgia - just hoping for more explanations for modification. I really liked your mention in another video of doing down dog on the wall if your arms/hands/wrists are in pain.

[@StefaniasJourney]

Just what I needed today, thank you.

[@clotheslinecraftscaroline2446]

Wonderful, I feel good and so happy to find a practise I can do. C x

[@priscillalander5193]

Oh this is the one....it is absolutely horrible waking up stiff and in pain, thank you for sharing it with so many of us

[@icecold8833]

Thank you for this practice! I just found u a couple weeks ago and I’m loving ur lessons ❤️ thank you

[@jenm473]

Thankyou so much. This was just what I needed today!! May you receive much energy and healing. Bless you

[@jenm473]

@@dreambeeyoga4186 That was a long time ago, but perfect timing. I am looking for joint mobility workouts and yoga for my husband. My words are gone right now (not enough coffee) but he has lost what seperates the bones in his lower spine (probably whole spine) and his hips, but still works a pretty physical job. less physical than he used to be, so we are not sure if its the deterioration or the weight gain that is putting him in so much pain. or both. I have been trying but don't want to put him in more pain- like deep stretching seems to. Many blessings!

[@jenm473]

@@dreambeeyoga4186 Just realized you are another channel, lol, but I loked and thankyou for guiding me that way!!- for myself especially

[@anacarranza6640]

I’m back! Namaste 🙏 💕

[@georgianapipoi4924]

Great practice, thank you!

[@rachaelhardin]

Thank you! I appreciate you sharing this

[@JusticeAnimeGeek]

While beginning, I had closed my eyes. I saw myself sat in a field of grass with little yellow flowers, not dandelions, daisy maybe. For a moment, despite my allergies, despite my sickness and pain, there was peace, and it was real. Unfortunately, my body over heated and I began to faint. I was only 4 minutes in..

[@sarama4153]

Wonderful! Sharing!!

[@dreambeeyoga4186]

Beautiful video! Very informative !

[@spicybiscuit88]

This looks perfect i will try this tomorrow , thanks so much 💜 xx

[@emilybirkinshaw9369]

I loved this practice so much but it was a shame there was an advert in the middle of it - it seems to be happening on a few meditation and yoga channels so I’m wondering if KZbin have snuck in a change? Just thought I’d let you know as your practices are normally so calm and refreshing

[@SantoshaSpirit]

Emily Birkinshaw OMG! That makes me mad! I’m sorry about that. I can assure you that it is not something I set up on my end. That’s horrible to be relaxing into your yoga practice and then have a loud ad jolting you 🙄

[@annameadowshelvie5714]

It's KZbin - they want us to subscribe to their Premium, which is ad-free.

[@maithreyiaelavarthi9897]

Thank u so much

[@davidcoomber4050]

If you suffer from sciatic or had a slipped disc the forward bending postures will result in pain and injury

[@tanjasbuecherlaube]

is there a routine which starts lying down?

[@SantoshaSpirit]

Yes! I have lots of supine practices here on youtube and even more available inside Spoonie Yoga Studio at spoonieyogastudio.uscreen.io

[@tanjasbuecherlaube]

@@SantoshaSpirit awesome! i have fibromyalgia. do you have a morning yoga routine here on youtube which starts lying down and is gentle?

[@s.w.638]

My joints must be really messed up. Easy pose is not easy to hold for that long, legs burn even seated on a blanket and with blocks supporting legs

[@SantoshaSpirit]

You are definitely not the only one who feels this way! I will do a full video on this soon. For now you could try sitting with your legs straight out in front of you and see if that helps.
