I have fibromyalgia and long-covid, and I've found that your yin yoga practice is really one of the only exercises I can tolerate, without more pain happening the following day or two afterwards! Thank you so much, for helping me reconnect to my body, after over a year and a half of barely being able to stand being in it! 💖💖💖 Seriously magical stuff here! Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for sharing this Amanda, I'm thrilled to hear you're finding that connection with yourself again! Huge high five to you for listening to and believing in yourself!!! 🙌

Began the practice filled with anxiety and chest tightness. Then was falling asleep on the shoulder stretches at the end. Your practices have taken me from barely able to walk with bursitis to full mobility over the last 3 years. Thank you! ♥

Thank you so much, Joelle. I've tried so many Yoga instructors on KZbin, I return to your guidance time and time again, because you have a gift of finding the perfect flow of postures for relieving pain in my body. The length of this practice is the most ideal, the body and mind have time to settle in and melt into the positions. Please keep being your awesome self and continue your style of teaching.

[@YogawithJoelle]

[@alphabelen9811]

❤❤❤

[@mstieshac]

This was awesome. Today is the first time doing this it felt good.. I know it takes the body time to understand what's going on. I would like to understand why it's so hard for me to breathe when doing certain poses? Also what can I do to strengthen my knees lol. It's killing me to do anything on them. It's not really funny honestly Thanks in advance 😊

[@YogawithJoelle]

That's a great question! So generally, if we're struggling to breathe in a yin yoga pose, it's a good indication that we've gone a little too far into the stretch. Basically, our subconscious brain doesn't "trust" that we can handle the stretch yet (because our body isn't used to it), so it starts sending us distress signals (like struggling to breathe) to try to get us to do something about it. The way to deal with that is simply with time and practice, so I suggest backing up or adding props to a pose to get yourself to a point where you CAN breathe with ease, and over time you'll start to notice your body and brain sending you signals when they're ready to move on or try a different modification. It comes with time, you can do it! As to strengthening your knees, this is a great practice to try and see how it feels for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJzSepR3aqmZZrc

[@lisalovelylpa]

Hope you still doing videos , feels great.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Absolutely! Check out my latest video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX21fZhrYplsn6c. :)

[@wertschaetzungs.booster]

My first complete yin yoga session. Some postures i have done mixed with vinyasa/hata... This enkle over knee and pull it to the stomach is pretty impossible for me now. My hips/lower back are very stiff even though I am doing yoga regular so i feel yin-yoga should be my focus. What's the difference between this swanposition and the pigeon? The hips being an area where a lot to f emotions are stored (you said in a chackrasequence) i can't figure out what that could be.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Great job trying something new! Swan position is essentially just the same posture as pigeon with a Yin name (if you're curious, I have a short video here about Yin poses, some of them have different names but not all: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ2zq2awZreWb8U) Essentially calling it "swan" is just our clue that this is a Yin pose, meaning a pose to be held without effort, whereas we might approach pigeon a little differently in a hatha or vinyasa class.

[@spensjc6774]

Hi in the swan pose do you sink down or stretch up ?

[@YogawithJoelle]

In yin we try not to engage the muscles, so let gravity do the work for you and sink down :)
