Everything about this was beautiful. I went into the practice feeling anxiety and fear and went out feeling compassion, bravery, and acceptance. Thank you so much 😊

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I am glad to hear this was helpful 🙏

[@juliebulie7587]

That was very soothing. I also made a big move recently, from the city I’d lived in for the past 25 years to a more rural location, leaving friends and family behind for new adventures. It was great at first but now I’m feeling a little isolated and anxious. I need to be brave and get more involved with our new community but I’m quite shy! I have joined a book club. Baby steps…😊

[@YogawithJoelle]

I love the idea of a book club Julie!! Thank you for sharing your experience with new adventures and the anxiety that always accompanies big changes to a certain extent. I'm glad you found this practice soothing ✨

[@kujuhenry712]

Much appreciated 😊

This would have to be my absolute favourite practice of yours Joelle. I did this last night (and will be tonight also and for the first time in such a long time I didn't wake up with fibromyalgia pain and sometimes anxiety gives me sleep problems. I slept right through. The relaxing poses and the positive affirmations was such a good combination. Thank you as always you are my always go to for yoga on KZbin. I really hope your move goes well. Love from Australia 🇦🇺❤️😊

@@YogawithJoelle I so enjoy practicing with you, Joelle!

[@nytasharobinson4300]

I feel my fear slipping away! 😊 I love side spinx it reminds me of fish pose to help release anxiety!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@Kyrillzak]

Thank you for another great sequence! By the way, I would say that literally every practice of yours is super great for anxiety and stress - it's combination of your voice, background music (that is just the right volume), the pace of practice, that helps to calm down and unwind after a hard day at work or wherever. I remember someone has already mentioned it in some comment to your video. That's why I always try to do you practices before bedtime - it helps me to calm down and helps a lot for insomnia.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Wow that is so nice of you to say - thank you SO much Kyrill, this means so much to me.

[@sabinaciccone2645]

As usual, a wonderful practice! Thank you, Joelle!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thanks so much Sabina!

[@soniainateacup]

Fantastic class and the affirmations were fabulous to gave alongside ❤❤❤ - had a lot of emotional release (centred around accumulating fears over the years and also some around money and some traumas related to it). Feeling brave and courageous 🤩🤩💥💥

Wow this yoga practice was exactly what I needed! This was so relaxing to my soul, and I felt so much release. Especially on the crocodile pose I literally felt the energy releasing out of my stomach into the earth. I will most definitely be revisiting this! Thank you Joelle

[@YogawithJoelle]

That's so nice hear. Crocodile pose is a personal favorite of mine 😉

[@shaziasultana2732]

Hi Joelle, Your Hip Bursitis yoga videos are very helpful, thank you very much! Please tell me if it is okay to do 3 different yoga exercises in a day. In the morning: 10 min In the evening: 10 min At night: 10 min. I'm +50 years old and I have Cervicale pain. Stay blessed!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Hi Shazia, I'm glad you like them! I'd say that theoretically there's no reason you can't do multiple practices in a day, and in fact many people do. But I can't responsibly guarantee what's most appropriate for YOU, since I don't know how doing so makes you feel. So my best advice is to keep listening to your body and focus on what feels GOOD, rather than just the time spent on the mat. If you find that doing 10 minutes 3 times a day leaves you feeling better afterwards, go for it! Otherwise feel free to take a step back and try one or two sessions a day instead. Thanks for the question!

[@shaziasultana2732]

Thank you for your nice guidance .regards😊

[@claremaguire-r7g]

Wow….that was unbelievable! I loved it ..thank you so much….I think I’m hooked on Yin….bless you thank you for introducing me to it…..I got on your amazon site and wanted to get a yoga block but the one you have picked is currently unavailable…could you put another choice on there pretty please ? :) Thank you!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Ah thanks for letting me know, I'll have to figure out how to update that! In the meantime if you just search for yoga blocks on Amazon you should find some good options. I personally like foam ones for Yin Yoga, as they're softer than cork or wood.

[@claremaguire-r7g]

Thanks for the tip on what type of block to buy…you know Christmas is coming …people will/ should want to buy off your amazon account…I already have the book you wrote which I’m enjoying throughly and also reading the yin yoga book that is also on the amazon account, it’s very interesting….there are more books on there that I want….I’ll have to make a list of gifts I want my husband to get me for Christmas…….Do some ,one stop shopping!

[@bjmb23]

What a lovely therapeutic sequence! I hope your move goes well! Where are you moving to? I know you also teach in French. Is that your mother tongue? I am German myself living in the USA.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Besten Dank Barbara ! Eigentlich komme ich ursprünglich aus Genf (in der französischsprachigen Teil der Schweiz), aber meine Mutter ist Amerikanerin. Ich bin mit Englisch und Französisch aufgewachsen und habe Deutsch als Erwachsene gelernt (mein Mann ist Deutscher - trotzdem mache ich immer noch viele Fehler !) Deutschland hat mir sehr gefallen in dem letzten Jahren, und es freut mich, mit einer Deutsche üben zu können ! 😉

@@YogawithJoelle Ich kenne die Schweiz, und die Region um den Genfersee ist wunderschön! Wir hatten vor vielen Jahren ein Ferienhaus in Montreux gemietet, in den Weinbergen mit Blick auf den See. Es war herrlich!🤩

[@EKWind]

I’m following your The chronic pain game plan and finding it very helpful. Do you have any tips for making sidesphinx easier on the shoulders?

[@YogawithJoelle]

So glad to have you with us for the chronic pain game plan Elise!! Great question on side sphinx. The first option would be to take the forearm a little further from the body (so the side sphinx gets lower) to see if that's enough to take pressure off of the shoulder. If that still feels too intense, another great option is to wedge a bolster, a couple of pillows, or any other comfortable support under the bottom ribs so that the prop helps take a lot of the weight and takes over some of the "work" the shoulder is doing when holding us up. I hope that helps!

[@EKWind]

@@YogawithJoelle Thank you for this tips! I will definitely try all the options next time I’m trying out this pose. I’m really enjoying following your “The chronic pain game plan”🙏

[@UniquelyPure]

I find embrio pose very uncomfortable is there a reason why?

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm afraid that's tricky to answer since you didn't say why you find it uncomfortable, but you're welcome to take child's pose instead or any other pose that works better for you!
