[@sylviacommins3629]

Thank you so much for Teachers Companion, I can't get enough of it . The podcasts and utube clips are so informative and well presented. I love the way you explain the function and anatomical components of Yoga poses. Its helped me so much in my personal practice and when I teach. I'm very grateful !!!

[@EmilyForte]

I’m so happy these are in video format! Yogaland is my favorite podcast, and video takes it to the next level. Thank you Jason, for sharing your expertise!

[@JasonCrandellYoga]

Thanks, Emily!

[@SchnattaLieschen]

Absolutely loved this little series. I can‘t wait for more to come. Please continue with this format.

[@JasonCrandellYoga]

Definitely! There will be another episode later this week!

[@tomashowlin]

Woah! Super cool. I have been noticing those modifications during your classes and wondering what was going on "under the hood". Thank you!

[@zenspaceyogalyon4968]

Teacher’s Companion is such a good idea! Big merci Jason, you rock🤘

[@goodvibesyogabar2431]

"Awful Natarajasana" is Amazing!

[@JasonCrandellYoga]

It's pretty awful, though....

[@sophiesyoga]

Love the lunge with the foot out at 45 degrees. This video looks very professional 👍

[@charlottevalinotti725]

Just to say I love the format of these videos - perfect length and I find them weirdly relaxing. Thank you x

[@sandraperkins4]

I listened to this first and was happy to learn there was a video to go with it to clarify some of the things - thank you!

[@chrissycortez-mathis2757]

Super helpful! Love being able to watch, pause, practice, take some notes & then resume the video. Looking forward to sharing these teachings with my students. Thanks so much for taking the time. YAY!!

[@brianm8773]

Jason, the length of video is great. Plenty of info to digest and incorporate in my own practice and teaching…… keep them coming

[@JasonCrandellYoga]

[@JasonCrandellYoga]

Thanks, Jo--and, you're welcome! -Jason

[@melisaandujo3899]

Gracias muy buena información..... más y más por favor 🙏

[@chandrakj]

Thank you Jason! I will definitely steal these flows :)

[@sueasher9924]

Thank you Jason, for this teaching. I like the clear concise way you stay on point and get the teaching across. I have spent my whole yoga "life" trying to make my body conform to the standard teaching and have always believed the turning feet out/widening feet creates instability and potential injury, so its really useful to listen to a very experienced teacher explain the is not so...

[@KenFernbach]

Many thanks Jason, really appreciate your insightful, informative explanations so glad to learn from you!🧘🏼🙏

[@dianagoncalves8805]

I'm really grateful for these videos! Thank you for sharing your huge knowledge with people you've never seen. It's helping me a lot with my yoga journey and my students. I appreciate the way you explain things, and hopefully one day I'll be able to buy one of yours online courses.

[@jpyogi3178]

Love this! Thanks Jason for this backbend series. I'm calling that last pose Funky Dancer :)

[@dpotengy1]

Thank you, Jason Crandell. Your explanations are always lean & clear & practicing the oses after you explain the difference makes me ALWAYS NOTICE that I have noticed by practicing bfr but as a student, I "couldn't" understand the difference why or even if could be right or wrong. These poses are also very good for the strengh of standing up poses & balance.

[@baileyyoga]

Awesome!!

[@JasonCrandellYoga]

Thanks!

[@debraleong5519]

This was awesome!!!! Thank you, so helpful. Have a great day.

[@bethanymccorkleyoga6654]

Oooo - going to take, practice, integrate & share that fun variation of dancer pose 🤓. I regularly incorporate this sort of technique in locust & bow pose…. Although I find students are a bit resistant to it- because it’s difficult! And so good! And what they need to be doing, just as you’re saying. So thanks so much for these stellar, on point & insightful videos. Just watched them all! And will continue to do so. Feeling inspired. Grateful. Cheers!

[@JasonCrandellYoga]

Sounds good, Bethany!

[@olgashmarina8342]

[@erikalirio7488]

Thank you so much for this content Jason! These are very useful and amazing tips and poses. I'll definitely use them in my next yoga class

[@Mindful_2024]

What a great explanatory video! I’ve noticed the variations on live Glo practices recently. This video gives the details of why. Thank you so much, Jason.

[@JasonCrandellYoga]

I'm glad you enjoyed this video Sophia. And, thanks for practicing with me on Glo!

[@Mindful_2024]

@@JasonCrandellYoga I also much appreciate your Better Way to Flow course. You are the best yoga teacher on my list.

[@Cocomargot13]

thank you thank you thank you!

[@NancyRuthDeenBreakupCoach]

Loved this one! Working on king cobra but I have a ways to go.

[@JasonCrandellYoga]

We all do...

[@lippcarmen549]

"Awful Natarajasana" - seems impossible as it gave me immediately cramps in my hamstrings

[@JasonCrandellYoga]

I told you it was awful... And, that kind of cramping is usually indicative of a deficiency of concentric strength. So, you can do the same pose, but much, much less lift of your shin.
