James has saved me!!!! Thank you for seeing the strength in those of us who are healing! I’ve been struggling with wrist and hand pain, but my yoga practice has always been strong. It was so discouraging searching for yoga for arthritic hands just to see the yoga instructor sitting on a chair and leading a 15 min meditation. I need something to make me work! And James does just that. Keep pushing me James! Keep seeing the strength in us and working us hard. We area still strong even if our hands are not. and we need you to help us maintain and grow that strength even if we can’t use our hands. Thanks for believing in us, your wrist free worriers.

However with your different options with many of the more challenging poses, I was able to satisfactorily complete this flow. Yes, I have done your videos before and have loved all of them. Thank you for being so generous by posting these amazing practices on KZbin. Here in Canada we have enjoyed all the Coronation celebrations yesterday. Such history. ❤️🙏

I'm an artist with perpetual wrist and elbow issues, and these wrist free flows of yours are a godsend.

Yours are strong and flow beautifully, and I look forward to them every day! And keep making me laugh :)

[@paulapetrey2017]

Hello, James ! I have done all of your hands free videos many times since pulling out my back. I am 68 and able to do all but the most advanced pistol squats and binds in flying postures. I am so thrilled to be able to enjoy flows and you are so positive .Thank you!! I was a bit confused whether my back foot was to be flat on the floor in low lunges or toes bent as yiu did flatvon keft and curved on right sides. I am nit being critical. I tried it both ways!! Just asking. I love your word pictures with Chanel lady and rich, necklace showing lady too. I hope you will post new videos. You are an outstanding teacher. Nanaste from the USA.

[@MoveWithJames]

Woah that’s fab! Love that you are so strong in these practices! That’s inspiring for so many others. In the low lunges, for me it depends on how my knee is feeling. Some people find tucking the toes makes the knee more comfortable. There’s a slight difference in activation if the toes are untucked and you push the top of that foot into the ground, it really stretches the front hip! But toes tucked often feels more stable for people. I’’d say see which feels good to you and work that way though!

[@hyao70]

James, your wrist free workouts are the bomb! You have no idea how much I appreciate these sweaty workouts that don’t strain my wrists. I hope to see more! Thank you.

This is another great and challenging practice. Kept me on my toes (literally🙂) and my mind focused. Thank you! The bound half moon was frustrating for me. I don't get this pose. Could you provide some micro details, please? I find them very helpful.

[@MoveWithJames]

Heya Anne, oh bound half moon is so tough! So first you have to get a really comfortable bind from prayer twist, the shoulder needs to be right across and outside the knee. If you have the bind, i recommend gripping the fingers lightly (rather than trying to get further up the hand or wrist as it makes the pose feel too tight. Step the back foot in closer before you lift the back leg up. My top tip for balances is to go slow, and root into the outside three toes of the foot (pinky toe side) as its easier to stop falling over from that side of the foot. Let me know how you get on!

[@anneehringhaus2173]

Thanks for your help. This time, I could hold the bound half moon one side for about 2 milliseconds...😊it is a process. Next time I will start the practice with a "trust myself " - meditation. See if that makes a difference ...

Hey Olamide, I'd say if it's pain as in sharp, stabbing or strong pain in a specific area then no we should never experience that. If that's the case, I'd reduce the number of sessions and work mindfully with that area, learning what movements aggravate it. If it's the soreness / discomfort of muscles you get after a strong workout, then that's quite normal and usually goes away with time as your body adapts to new movements. I'd definitely keep your 2 rest days in this case, or maybe drop to 3 rest days for a couple of weeks until your body builds up the capacity for more 😊

@@MoveWithJames no sharp pain. I did a shorter intense routine this week over 4 days instead of 5. I feel better for that.
