[@FreyaGem]

You are literally the only person on youtube that has a yoga routine for chefs! Thank you! I am all 3: musician, writer, and chef, so my neck and shoulders are pretty much one big solid knot 😬. This routine was a godsend.

[@YogaRangerStudio]

I actually have had a lot of requests for this practice from chefs so I am happy to offer it! So glad this practice helps and thank you for being here with me today and for your creative contribution! 🙏😊🤗

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Wonderful and thank you for joining me today!

[@jessicathuresson6913]

Wish I could press like 1000 times. Love this practice. It's the best ever after a session of climbing or cross country skiing.

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Oooo - wonderful to hear this and I am so glad you enjoy it so much!

[@kateryan7267]

So good on my wrists and forearms after a day of writing! Delicious!

[@YogaRangerStudio]

So happy you like this practice and I hope your writing is going well! Have a wonderful week and thank you for joining me today. Peace, Aprille

[@jenmikkelson5432]

WOW! Despite all of my shoulder surgeries and physical therapy I had never done some of these stretches before, and they were sorely needed! Thank you! This is an amazing practice for rock climbers, you may want to consider adding that to the title :)

[@YogaRangerStudio]

I will definitely add it into the tags and title! Thanks Jen and I am SO glad these helped you feel better. Have a great weekend - Peace, Aprille

[@SprinkleMeNubCake]

Thanks for the practice Aprille, will be checking out your other two videos for wrists, mine need some love.

[@YogaRangerStudio]

You are welcome and I hope your wrists get some more love! Thanks for joining me today and have a great week! Peace, Aprille 😊

[@kaywilson3496]

Another of your classes added to my favourites! Loved this session and so did my shoulders and wrists, thank you!

[@YogaRangerStudio]

You're so welcome!

[@ashanein]

While fibro makes my whole body hurt, I struggle with my shoulders, arms, neck and hands daily. This was a soothing practice!! Thank you so much!!

[@YogaRangerStudio]

You're so welcome! Hope you have a wonderful weekend Ashley! Peace, Aprille

[@kateryan7267]

this is my go to for when I've been sitting and writing for too long! Thanks!

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Thanks for joining me and I hope you are feeling more relaxed now! Peace, Aprille

[@kanlithunder]

You show a great sense of the yin and yang to a session. Will return and attempt to recall - this week you centered on my wheelhouse - writing and music. Profound gratitude.

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Thank you for sharing your yoga time with me today! Wishing you a wonderful day filled with creative endeavors. Peace, Aprille 😊🙏

[@ellenled]

Thanks, Aprille. You're right---so few yoga sessions focus on neglected body parts, like wrists. I don't do repetitive activities per se, but do spend some time cooking and being on the computer and just living, so it's always good to give some loving attention to them. Thanks for the prompts not to pull on your head for the neck stretch. That's exactly what I was doing as you said not to! And I tried to release and just give it some weight, not pull, but it was almost difficult for me to release it---like that I was determined to really stretch and yes, pull. Don't know how to stop this habit/inclination. It's like I'm still being kinda yang in the midst of a yin practice! Guess that's why it is a practice and has to be done daily....

[@YogaRangerStudio]

You are welcome Ellen! I know what you mean about pulling - it's something I had to work hard not to do for such a long time. I think years of being a gym person and being told to push to the limit and go further really settles in and it takes a great deal of attention to stop that. This applies to SO much too! Glad you enjoyed this one and I hope you are still enjoying classes at your local gym? How are you doing lately? Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Peace, Aprille

[@monpederson]

This was so good for me - thank you! I'm not a writer or musician but as I get older weight training and workouts seem to be taking more of a toll on my forearms. Thanks Aprille!💖

[@YogaRangerStudio]

You're so welcome! I know exactly what you mean about forearms and I am glad this practice helped. Thank you for sharing your time with me and have a wonderful week. Peace, Aprille

[@baijudharmalingam9578]

Really enjoyed this.. my shoulders and neck feels free and mobile! Thank you

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for sharing your yoga time with me today. Peace, Aprille

[@Maggiemae33]

Bless you for this practice, Aprille. Been recovering from an infection that left me hospitalized and on crutches and this is the first practice I have been able to enjoy in a while. My crutch carrying arms and my soul thank you. Love to you.

[@YogaRangerStudio]

I am so sorry to hear you have been sick! I wish you a speedy and full recovery and send lots of hugs. So glad this practice helped and thank you for joining me! Have a beautiful day and I hope you get some good rest. Peace, Aprille 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Lucy says get well too... 🐱

[@kathykapsner3897]

Yay! I’ve got it open already!!!

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Perfect! So glad to hear this Kathy and I hope you have a WONDERFUL day! Thanks for joining me. Peace, Aprille

[@arianabrown4308]

I do the stretches in this video every day since quarantine began! I do so much computer work and doing this video right before I start computer work really helps my shoulders and wrists and arms. Thank you so much

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Thanks for sharing!! What a great idea to do it BEFORE you start work so you are open and more comfortable while working. Wishing you a wonderful week and thank you so much for joining me every day! Peace, Aprille

[@carinaelenius1438]

Just what I needed today for my arms and shoulders. Thank you!

[@YogaRangerStudio]

You're so welcome! I am glad you enjoyed this practice and I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Peace, Aprille

[@juliecote-lalonde9533]

Really helped with my wrist pain. Thanks!

[@YogaRangerStudio]

I am so glad this helped and thank you for joining me!

[@vonbomb333]

This has become one of my go-to's after a long day on the farm and in the kitchen, but it really came in healing to me on Saturday after a 7-mile, 7-hour kayaking trip! Married it with your spine health practice and saved myself from some serious soreness. Bless your heart, Aprille!

[@YogaRangerStudio]

That is a really long but I am sure - super fun day! So glad this helped you avoid the soreness and I wish you a wonderful week! Peace, Aprille

[@kathykapsner3897]

Love separating the sides for heart melting and bow tie. I can actually do them separately!👍🏽😊

[@YogaRangerStudio]

That's great to hear Kathy! Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

[@suze144]

Thank you! I'm always amazed how 30 minutes of Yin Yoga can feel like 2 hours of floating in timelessness ❤️

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Wonderful! I know what you mean - Yin is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your time today and have a great week! Peace, Aprille

[@marystestkitchen]

Loved loved loved this! I'll definitely be coming back to this one again and again. Thank you so much, Aprille!

[@YogaRangerStudio]

That's great to hear Mary! You are very, very welcome and I appreciate your very supportive words. Thank you for practicing with me today. Wishing you a lovely and uplifting day! Peace, Aprille 😊🤗

[@jenniferhellwig1204]

Mmmm that was great.... I'm a massage therapist and also write a lot. This was just wonderful for me

[@YogaRangerStudio]

You're so welcome Jennifer!

[@myspeedy689]

Thank you so much for this magical practice 🙏

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Thank you for joining me and have a great weekend!

[@asexton7166]

That was a treat after work! Thank you for the sequence!

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@helenadacosta39]

Exactly what I need today. I founf after the practice more space on my shoulders and wrists as well on my back. Thank you Aprille. Have a peaceful day

[@YogaRangerStudio]

That's wonderful to hear Helena! Thank you for joining me and I wish you a wonderful and joyful week ahead! Peace, Aprille

[@dkd9140]

I am a knitter and this is wonderful for my arms, hands and neck! I was wondering if you would consider creating a program for students. One of my daughters suffers from extreme neck pain due to studying on her computer. Love all your practices. Thank you for making them available to all.

[@YogaRangerStudio]

I will add this to my list Deb but your daughter might benefit from this practice that is for office workers and the tension in the entire body from sitting at a desk and using a computer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4CXiXZ8nceDoNk

[@pippahumphreys9998]

hi Aprille I had quite a sore spot between my neck and shoulder blade, which i think is due to sleeping on my side and the computer work. This session really helped lossen it all up ❤

[@YogaRangerStudio]

I am so happy to hear you are feeling better Pippa and may you have a relaxing week : )

[@HB-vc4bf]

Wonderful poses! Great lesson. Thank you :)

[@YogaRangerStudio]

You're so welcome!

[@kathykapsner3897]

Very relaxing and opening🥰. Will share with my upper body using friends🥳🤣👍🏽

[@thousandsmiles2013]

He there, really enjoyed this practice as I was longing for a release for my trigger finger in my hands as well as just loosening up my shoulder joint. Could you please do a video for trigger finger or perhaps hand and forearm health? That would be so amazing if you could and I would be so very grateful to you. Thank you so much for what you do, I just discovered your channel and I am IN LOVE! Thank you. I appreciate you. 🙏❤

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Hi Michael - here are few videos I have available that work with this area... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYuxhJqlmbd8d6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5qmaJqFa619bLs kzbin.info/www/bejne/qISzl3-KnNxnj5Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKaWnJyZm6Z8qs0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIDIeKCFrrWMq68 Thanks for joining me today and have a great week! Peace, Aprille

[@lindatrimble6610]

Thank you so much for this practice Aprille, I will definitely come back to this! I am left handed and wake up most mornings with a sore arm and pins and needles in my fingers! Can you point me in the right direction to help relieve these symptoms? Thank you in advance! Namaste Aprille, have a brilliant day! ❤️

[@YogaRangerStudio]

You are welcome Linda and I am glad you enjoyed it! Is it just after you wake up or any other time during the day? I find that when I sleep on my side or compress my shoulder in any way, I wake up similarly. It can also happen when the arm is above the shoulder so taking the arms down lower below shoulder height can help. I have poor circulation in my fingertips so if my hand is raised even slightly above my hips (lying on my back or side), I have a lot of pins and needles as well and some loss of feeling at the tips. Try a few different positions with extra pillows and see if you can find the position that might be impinging on a nerve. Let me know what you discover and I hope this helps! Have a great weekend! Peace, Aprille

[@lindatrimble6610]

Thank you so much Aprille, I do have the feeling throughout the day also but the morning is the worst. I will try out what you advise and let you know how I get on 🙂. Namaste

[@LilyMarsWrites]

[@YogaRangerStudio]

Sarah - I always want to hold the poses longer 😉 That's the bliss of Yin, right? So glad you enjoyed this practice and I wish you a beautiful and peace filled weekend! Namaste, Aprille

[@xnientjee]

I'm doing your 7 day yin immersion right now, it's great! 2 questions: have you ever thought of making a 7 or 30 day journey? And secondly, is there a reason why you always ask us to lay down on our right side in fetal position? Thanks ❤

[@YogaRangerStudio]

I am so glad to hear you are enjoying it as this is my 7 day Yin journey offering. As for 30 days - I release a monthly themed calendar each month which you can access either at theyogaranger.vhx.tv OR kzbin.info/door/COOToZSV4lDrbmGXu96ySgjoin . Both locations offer calendars which are downloadable and have direct links and are specifically curated for the theme and the season/time of year. At the first option, the monthly calendar comes with journal/reflection questions each month as well to help people dive deeper into the theme. I recommend lying on the right side as this helps regulate and normalize blood pressure so that when you come back up, you won't have a dizzy effect and it will help your blood pressure not spike. It is commonly used in hospitals by nurses and after surgery to help normalize blood pressure. Thanks for joining me!
