This was such a good yoga class it was difficult but i did what i could and after wards not only were my hips and legs loose but my bowels were as well. After the class i took the longest and most satisfying shit of my life thanks so much ive never felt so good in my life cant wait to see more of your vids

[@sixsevenzero7678]

Thank you for sharing, I had a laugh 😂

[@KevinMtutoriales]

LMAO

[@grim3178]

LOLL

[@adawggiemoore]

thank you the walk through of your “satisfying shit”. this was very inspiring

[@R1l3y_129]

wise words indeed

[@curiouskaleidescope6008]

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. Love that you allow us to stay in each stretch awhile. Most people change positions right when I was starting to really relax into the stretch. You included all the stretches I like in one wonderful video. Thank you!

[@yoginimelbourne]

So glad to hear that you enjoy the practice x

[@ladyscarfaceangel4616]

I know, but when they do that I just stay in the pose till I’m ready to release it & remember which ones to do after to catch up, or I’ll skip what they’ve done in between. Or slow the video playback speed down a smidge or two. It’s difficult to instruct a yoga class that fits everyone’s individual needs I’m sure. My friend likes fast vinyasa flows & I like to slow them down. Now that you’ve found your jam, it’ll be easier to pick channels & videos! ❤️ 🧘‍♀️

[@terrancekayton007]

I feel you. It's difficult to relax and remember where to rewind it back to...or have to get up and find the remote then get back into the position after I paused it...lol. Ya, it's hard to satisfy us all. Thankfully, so many have recorded their gifts for the world to cherish from now on

[@arthurraleigh5812]

It was fast for me! 😂

[@himawarisunflower87]

I like the way u teach. No unneccessary music on the background, no grandma story, just straight to the point.

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you for your feedback, really appreciated :)

[@barbie4897]

Lmfaooo

[@blacktelescope]

I think my favourite part of this video, after watching it hundreds of times, is the faint sound of the train in the background. Love it.

[@manilal7325]

I am a Yoga Teacher...This is the best stretching I have ever seen...Thank you Mam...

[@yoginimelbourne]

Really lovely of you to say, thank you :)

[@seanb3525]

Namaste 🙏🏽 my hamstrings and hips finally feel loose 🙏🏽

[@jamesrawlinson]

Thank you for this sequence. It’s a great addition to the Iyenga I’m doing with my instructor in the U.K. one day I will be able to touch my toes 😂

[@mandywalker1802]

Had a hip replacement 9 months ago and this has helped massively wit( my recovery, thank you x

[@TheEllen27100]

I’m still revisiting this stretch everyday! As a runner this is a great hip opener! Thank you 💐😊

[@dannidahlia3729]

I often get pain in my hips which spreads down my whole leg and no amount of stretching or hot baths have ever been able to stop it from hurting but this beautiful 15 min practice has completely relaxed my hip and I could honestly cry. Thank you so much, I will be returning to this video often and checking out your others :)

[@yoginimelbourne]

I'm so glad that you found some relief lovely! Thank you sharing x

[@jnoori]

I am in the same boat. I can't believe a quick 15 min stretch can get rid of hours of discomfort. Thank you!!

[@shirinkadivar3888]

This 15 min of my everyday routine has become the most satisfying part of it, thank you very much Paula❤

[@HaLo_Zz]

i did it and feels a lot better. Been doing alot of lifting and been so tight, and i feel so loose right now. Thank you. :) Glad i found your channel.

[@yoginimelbourne]

Great to hear that the practice is helpful, thanks for stopping by! :)

[@oceanarocket]

This has become my go to morning routine. My legs and hips are so beat up from 25 years of work and neglect, i often have problems with pain throughout them. I’m really new to yoga, and the way you direct it/speed of it is perfect for me. Thank you

[@slipknotj2581]

I love that you are using the Sanskrit terminology. A lot of yoga teachers use only the enough translations and as an Indian it makes me feel as if they are not respecting the art 🙏

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you for the lovely feedback :)

[@kimnoir]

How

[@AtulEngineer]

0:33 very good stretch. Best hamstring yoga

[@netimelchior]

Thank you so much , that was a beautiful strech. After a week of running: Feels great!

[@yoginimelbourne]

So lovely to hear, thank you! :)

[@Vazztudio]

This was amazing for me. I would definitely include this on my morning routine. Thanks for sharing.

[@yoginimelbourne]

You're so welcome! ❤️

[@KamuSaladi]

I’m lying in bed after this and a hot shower and I have never felt so relaxed in my life. It’s like everything from the waist down is levitating in an entirely different zip code and dimension. WOW. Definitely making this a part of my daily routine and checking out your other works. Thank you, gifted one 🙏

[@skylardaniel9217]

Just started my yogi journey this past autumn, taking two yoga classes every week. After the new year I had to go down to yoga class just once a week, so I’ve been trying to find an alternative online, and I think I found it! Love the calmness in your voice and the gentle cues you give during the poses.

[@teodorratanase]

there are lots and lots of great people on youtube who can teach yoga very well but maaaan this soothing voice is rare and im here for it

[@yoginimelbourne]

Aww thank you! x

[@mm.f262]

Retired athlete with many hamstring injuries. I use this every morning. Love it. Perfect video. No fluff convo, straight to it. nice voice, nice pace. wish they made more lower body, hamstring videos

[@l.y.6922]

This is exactly what I needed! I plan to keep doing it regularly to help my release tension and maintain my health. Thank you!

[@lucysu3875]

Thank you so much Paula. I absolutely love your soothing voice and I have been doing your shoulder yoga everyday for nearly 2 weeks and feels huge improvement!

[@yoginimelbourne]

That is so lovely to hear, thank you! :)

[@ivee1851]

Wow, just wanted to say that your video has helped me so much with my lower back. Will be putting this on repeat, daily. Thank you so much for your wisdom.

[@shahedadhandia8811]

Thank you so much for this gentle yet very effective stretch. I feel so relaxed and looking forward to a good night sleep 💕

[@ivaskoljak7995]

Oh, that was so nice! Your voice is perfect for this! I superenjoyed it! Thank you!

[@yoginimelbourne]

So lovely to hear, thank you x

[@adrianpetrasch1373]

Thanks for offering such a calm practice. Tried many leg stretches in the past years, this was definitely the best one. Helps everyone who is sitting or running a lot. Will do your practice as a daily routine now. Thank you.

[@Ranidizzle]

My favourite yoga teacher on YT. I suffer from hip pain and sciatica exacerbated by sitting at a desk all day (and now a home desk which is not ergonomic) and this stretch completely relieved my pain. Great thing to do every morning and evening outside of any other practice or exercise

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you for such lovely feedback and taking the time to practice - I'm so pleased it helps! xx

[@StarlightOasis]

You are definitely my favorite yoga channel on KZbin. I have a long list of joint / muscle issues from TMJ to flat feet and plantar fasciitis and carpel tunnel. Anything from 15 to 45 minutes with your video is my saving grace, especially now during quarantine since I can't access my chiropractor or massage therapist. Subscribed - love it, thanks for great content!

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you for the lovely feedback. I'm so pleased that the practice can support you and good on you for practicing! x

[@vagishasinha26]

Hi, I just want to tell you that you're incredible. The way you talk about the tiniest of details about how each and every body part should feel when doing a certain pose helps so much. Lots of love. 💞

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you for such lovely feedback, it is so appreciated! xox

[@aquarels]

I do this every evening now. Just absolutely love it. Yoga is truly amazing blessing to our body and our mind

[@hungyiying5472]

This is awesome! I did it and my legs feel like clouds. Light and relax 😊 thank you so much

[@djinman1837]

Thank you, yoginimelbourne! I've found my niche in your wonderful array of applications to meet the needs of us who find goodness in asana. I did a 10 mile hike, with lots of big elevation changes this past weekend, and this set and sequence allowed me to connect with the tightness, release and stretch of those muscles that did so much work. Feels. So. Good. Thanks, again!

[@yoginimelbourne]

Sounds like a lovely walk and glad the yoga helped. thanks for practicing :) p

[@jeffvardon7983]

You are a tremendous force… gets better each time I practice… appreciate you SiFu.

[@NYyogaGal]

This is SOOOOO good! I’m so grateful for you Paula!!!!

[@samiraprang3535]

This yoga stretch is just amazing! Short, effective, and I just love how we get to hold the poses to really feel the stretch in our muscles. You're the only yoga instructor I actually love following along! 🥰

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you for such lovely feedback! xx

[@HelenPutsman]

This is such an excellent sort way of loosening up tight hips and hamstrings! Thank you so much 😊

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you x

[@Mcjessica05]

I recently started lifting weights again and my hamstrings hurt so bad I could barely walk or sleep comfortably. After 2 days of doing this I feel so much better. This will be a regular stretch after leg day. Thank you

[@dianamark5149]

The best neck and shoulder practice - really ease the tension for me. Excellent work Paula, keep it up!

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you so much! :) xx

[@stanley16fttapemeasure38]

Great practice, I travel for work so i sit a lot and run marathons so my hips and lower back are always feeling tight - this added relief to all the inflamed areas and in less than 15 minutes!! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@MLI0369]

17 years and going in the Corps. Back and Hamstring issues and major calf problems have began to slow down my life. Thank you for this. It was a great start for the day.

[@yoginimelbourne]

So glad you enjoyed the practice, sounds like your body has definitely been through a lot! xx

[@YogaWithKate]

As a fellow yoga teacher I wanted to say how much I enjoyed this. Thanks 🙏

Good morning Paula, I just did this routine after my glute workout this morning! Amazing class! Glutes, hams, and legs feel so good! Thank you so much always for all your classes! Have a wonderful and blessed day! :-)

[@yoginimelbourne]

Really lovely to hear that Anna! Hope you are well :)

[@mariehu3064]

This was amazing, no unnecessary talking (which can be annoying when working on hips cause of all the emotions) Thank you for this. New sub

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you for the lovely feedback x

[@tvg6854]

I have felt tightness in my calf and things years. I had no idea that they have to be stretched and released. One of my friends is a physiotherapist and she adviced me to do stretching exercises. I found your channel and even by doing this one I felt so much lighter and different. The next day when I woke up my muscles felt so relaxed.. Thank you very much!

[@lucindamcintosh7991]

I switch between a few different yoga channels on youtube, but this one is my favourite

[@biancacadet5998]

After a week of workouts and being sore I feel relaxed. Thank you!!🥰

[@yoginimelbourne]

You're so welcome! ❤️😊

[@sardinemasc]

i adore this practice :) hips & hamstrings are my new favorite things to focus on in morning practices. great way to warm up my body for all of the day's activities, and to help loosen up from sleeping. thank you so much!!! :)

[@vickiwalshire7559]

I love Paula's soothing voice...this one is in my regular rotation.

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you for the lovely feedback x

[@znjsn]

After (or before) every workout, may it be cardio, yoga or strenght practice, I always finish with this one. It is simple yet long enough, it gives you enought time to really feel and do the stretch properly.

[@eljja327]

did it this morning and It was still effective at night, so lovely thank u!

[@jenns2755]

Hey Paula, im doing this exercise everyday almost 2 weeks now, and im feeling so much better. Lots od these poses were very hard for me in the beginning, but now im really enjoying. Xoxo 💕

[@yoginimelbourne]

Good on you - it's amazing the effects of a consistent practice. Thanks for the lovely feedback xox

[@TammyCoco-]

This is great particularly because its not rushed, I've tried many videos to get my ex dancer flexibility back but they tap out of the poses so fast that I never got what I was supposed to do until now. Will check out the rest of your videos

[@andrewplayer4407]

Thank you so much, after overdoing it on a few cycle rides recently I needed this. So relaxing I fell asleep on the mat at the end

[@danielleinfante5086]

i've added this to my daily stretch routine. just what i was looking for! thank you :)

[@popo-yz2vo]

Your intro song already put me into a calmer mood. Thank you, my hips were VERY tight from running
