I loved this class! Felt invigorated and happy after it - thank you l!

[@nohandlingme]

I just finished this and holy moly, it was a tough one but I feel so amazing! 🙏🏼❤

[@HeidiBubbles83]

Love this! 🙌💜🤗 had to release a bit early in a few poses - something to build up towards! Much love & Gratitude for your content 🙏 Namaste! 🕉

[@carolynh2918]

Wonderful, meaningful class. I loved the presence building of the poses. Thank you!

[@deborahanssen8591]

Excellent class. Would love a 45 minute - 60 minute version. Thanks for sharing yoga with us. It's so great.

[@alinagorcenco3897]

What came to my mind during this practice was : “When I think I cannot do it anymore, I can do a little more”. Thank you for this practice. Made me feel proud of myself 😊

[@SashaLipskaia]

Oh, I love that mantra! Soul-mind over matter:)!

[@yogawithkassandra]

I love that!!

[@kirstinhoops5826]

I am a bodyworker and longtime yogini, and I live with chronic pain from an autoimmune condition and connective tissue disorder. I have to be very mindful of my movement bc things easily slide out of place if I’m too loose, but with too much strength I am tight and sore. This is a class I’ve come back to now 8 or 9 times because the stability it brings to my joints reliably staves off any injury in my working life, and is always a much needed invitation to simplify and purify. Thank you so much, and I can’t wait for more classes like these from you 😊❤

[@mytaffycat]

I agree. I have Hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and this class is safe, effective, challenging and fun.

[@JauntyCrepe]

I just discovered this today but I also have a connective tissue autoimmune disorder and I feel sooo good right now

[@francosquirley8047]

More power classes, please! Love you, Kassandra! Best yogi teacher online 🌞🌻🌞🌻🌞🌻

[@timhorner7452]

Would love to have this be a 60 min class. Really interesting stuff. Great way to focus on breathing and challenge at the same time. Big big fan btw

[@elainegeorge8378]

Wow, I made it. At 75 years, I don't even mind the wrinkles when I can get my body to do this. Thank you.

[@TheSail2222]

Yes, I hope at 69 I can continue for much longer as well! Well done !

[@mayblooms-nu2]

Role model!!!

[@Schlond_poofa]

More intermediate classes please! Loved this one!

[@basicallydan]

This is the longest practice I've done in a while. I've been falling into a bit of a slump lately and dealing with some challenges in life which have been lasting much longer than I expected. When I searched for "power yoga" earlier looking for something to get the blood pumping and you started off by talking about perseverance and supporting oneself... it was a perfect moment of serendipity. Thanks Kassandra for all the excellent yoga guidance.

[@mtracy2k]

I DID IT! I PERSEVERED. Thank you so much for your guidance and time on the mat. This was definitely challenging, but I enjoyed the practice. I would definitely enjoy more like this. It feels great to hold longer poses, breath, and focus when I make time for it. My mind, body, and spirit feels better this morning.😅❤️😊

[@yogawithkassandra]

Good job!!!

[@nathaliagabriella127]

@@yogawithkassandra Totally AGREE!!!😀

[@anastasiamplizioti6754]

In addition to yin yoga , i would also like more like this. Thank you Kass.

[@dennisscott8901]

I was going to bolt and find something more comfortable but read your comment and powered through it! Lol thanks for the motivation and thanks to Kassandra for the class

[@gracechong7528]

Yes more of this type of Power classes PLEASE 🙏 it's challenging bit very rewarding. Absolutely nailed it. Thank you, Kassandra!

[@lyndeemarie]

Finding stillness while in the depths of struggle builds the tapas, the fire, to preserve, to build the strength, knowing that on the other side, there will be peace. Thank you for this practice; it was exactly what I needed as a reminder that I'm going to power through but seek moments of stillness because peace will come again soon.

[@yogawithkassandra]

Thanks for sticking with it!!

[@haleybaley333]

Kassandra I just want you to know how much you’ve changed my life. I went from barely being able to do a forward fold to holding headstands and doing full splits!! Thank you ❤

[@barbaraschmee658]

Thank you very much! I really enjoyed this kind of getting stronger, but also more still and focused. Please do more of such wonderful slow, steady and powerful yoga!

[@sameerahali6622]

I would love more of these! During challenging times, challenging poses really help us dig in a bit and recognize that we can do hard things intentionally. Not by being forced by outside forces, but by standing in our own power and facing the work with faithful curiosity. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@CookieButter13]

What a pleasant find this morning when I decided it was time to hit the mat. This was one of those “the yoga I didn’t know I needed” moments in practice. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏻

[@tajanatusek]

I felt the same! :)

[@sandragoudreau717]

Gratitude is my word! I am celebrating 4 years practicing daily with you and I am thankful for the strength and flexibility I have experienced in my body. Much appreciated!

[@cxrdelia4591]

I was as stiff as a plank board a few months ago but thanks to your amazing classes and a little perseverance on my side, I have made immense progress and I feel so grateful and proud ! Thank you Kassandra

[@kaylacrocker1611]

I loved this class! Oftentimes if things are moving too quickly I feel like I don’t have a chance to get any activation/stretch or even catch my balance. Would love to see more of these in the future!

[@ellenkala1461]

I DID IT!!!! I didn't fall out of any poses and fought tooth and nail to keep steady breathing. I kept repeating this in my head to keep me going "Just because it's hard doesn't mean I have to stop... Just because it's difficult doesn't mean I can't do it"... And it worked.. I didn't know I had a mind so strong and my body and soul are singing harmoniously this morning ✨ Thank you Kassandra

[@teaklev]

I've never done a power yoga class simply because the name alone is intimidating. I decided to give this a try because all your classes are amazing. 🥰 What a powerful class! Yin is my passion and this was literally a power yin class with short holds. I'm so thankful I practiced with you today and learned something new (as usual). 💖

[@DMBmusicfan1]

I definitely needed this mentally more than I realized. Definitely a great confidence booster. Loved it, thank you

[@perlamartinezlopez6452]

Thank you!!! Yesterday my anxiety took over but I am grateful today I was able to help myself out through this practice. Today I am enjoying my peace. Lots of love. More of this power yoga please!! ❤

[@patrickwestcott4096]

As always, Kassandra provides positive affirmations along with expert instruction. She's a gem! Please more power sessions!

[@hzeleyes9833]

It never ceases to amaze me how the struggles and triumphs I have in my life translate into the very same things on my mat. I’m re-learning (the right way this time) to sit with uncertainty and discomfort, and to trust that tough times are followed by peace and rest. Thank you for holding the space and facilitating the lesson, Kassandra!

[@beejayemcee9260]

Thank you! Been off the mat for two weeks and really enjoyed this slow, intentional flow this morning. Very powerful 🙏🏽 Namaste

[@xFactored]

I didn’t want to do yoga today. I definitely didn’t want to do power yoga. My body is stiff, I’m tired after work, and my mood is a bit blah. I did it anyway. These things are still here, but I feel better. Accomplished, less achey, a clearer mind, and a happier heart. “Thank you” doesn’t quite show the amount of appreciation I have for you and your practices - mind and body. A virtual hug might have to work 🤗

[@tsumichama]

I went into this doubting myself a little, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be 😅 We really are stronger than we think we are! ❤

[@giggisab]

Thanks Kassandra ! I have been following your videos for last few years. My wrist problem got resolved and overall 20 / 30 mins intermediate and advanced yoga really helps. You are a wonderful teacher. I have been practicing Yoga for 27 years and I very well know you are just an amazing instructor who understand limitations and injuries of people.

[@giovannaalvaro8132]

Really enjoyed this practice, I love it when I can hold a challenging pose for a few breaths.

[@aliceimogen]

This was definitely challenging, but I loved that your definition of "power" was being more thoughtful, more intentional, holding poses longer, rather than a rush through a million poses where form is an afterthought. Thank you!

[@julialisa511]

Love these 30 min power ones!

[@MM-uo8mp]

Kassandra, hi! I am Victoria and I have been practicing with you for a little over two years now. Started with sun salutations and moved on to other routines. This is the first time I’m doing a 30 minute long routine, mostly because I lacked the time, partly because I didn’t feel quite ready, but I must say this has been one of the greatest experiences with yoga I’ve had so far! I loved how you linked the poses with the spiritual/philosophical purpose of the practice. The tree pose really rooted me. Ended up noticing I wasn’t being very kind to myself lately. Thank you very much, I am deeply grateful for this opportunity. Have a beautiful day!

[@niveditarath9098]

Loved this practice🥰 And the comment - ‘When you linger in discomfort, you can really grow from it’

[@whatdoyoulivefor735]

You are the antidote to Yoga with Adrian. God bless you.

[@royaltarot7835]

Challenging, but absolutely amazing, you are so right we are stronger than we think we are,, more of these please, you are so amazing an inspiration to everyone, lots of love and light ❤️ ❤️

[@minkyjen8283]

I loved this class, I’ve just lost my job, so am in a total dreamlike state of anxiety about what to do next. This practice really reminded me to persist and not give up when challenged, I feel I have weaken in body and spirit, so am heading off this week to do more challenging strength training, so thankyou (again) ❤ for a wonderful class.

[@Elishevet7861]

This was the perfect way to wake up this Monday morning! I've been having some motivation issues in another area of my life and I needed this push. Thank you!

[@mdee702]

I've only been doing yoga for six-ish months, and I have been exploring a lot of your different flows. This one is probably my #1 favourite; I come back to it all the time.

[@lisagoeke5025]

I really loved this class! Please do make more like this! I feel so much better than when I started. Thank you Kassandra! I appreciate 🙏 you

[@mr_green33]

Ugh I need this NOW lol

LOL!

[@Pixiepurpleunicorn]

I just have to let you know Kassandra, I appreciate you. I was struggling with anxiety and pent up energy at my heart center when I decided to do this. I was able to release it and felt such better after this practice.I let go of what was bothering me because it really was out of my control. I had some tea and a peaceful night of rest. Thank you❤ You are truly gifted.

[@doreenbowens437]

This practice hit the sweet spot for me. I couldn't agree more. Please have more practices like this. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Namaste

[@Selfunraveled]

I love the mindfulness aspect of yoga and your reminders to Check in with our thoughts when we are uncomfortable. Whenever I felt myself thinking I was too pathetic or too stiff, I caught that and changed it to a more positive thought like “I’m pushing myself beyond my comfort zone and it’s ok to feel uncomfortable “ love this thank you ❤

[@wijdanh326]

I love this! Yes please more power yoga videos. I’ve been doing vinyasa yoga for a long time but now it’s time to do more challenging yoga. Thank you so much for everything you created for us ❤❤.

[@kirstinhoops5826]

Wonderful class! More like this please! I have been practicing for many years and love to challenge myself on the mat. But so many practitioners think “power yoga” can only mean quick, acrobatic vinyasa and lots of movement. I have a connective tissue disorder that makes my joints hyper mobile, and just because I can do power vinyasa doesn’t mean it’s safe for my body. So I loved having a class that was really challenging and engaging, but that made me feel stronger in my body, and since I wasn’t so concerned with alignment as I’m constantly changing shape, I was able to tune in even better and feel integrated in every pose. Thank you!!

[@stephenchatterley3583]

I thoroughly enjoyed this practice & I for one would definitely love more sessions like this one. I do prefer the 20 - 30 minute practices more than I do the shorter ones in all honesty. I can't wait to do this one again.

[@SivanArbel]

Kassandra, I practice with you online almost daily. Thank you for your classes. I really needed this one today.. I felt how strong I am in a time that my soul is not feeling its best

[@joshgrove7335]

I started with your 30 day challenge when my partner and I were in 14 day hotel quarantine during covid (2020). It really helped us get though everything. You are our favorite yoga instructor on KZbin. We both really enjoyed today's practice. Please continue with the power yoga series!

[@salonisagar]

I loved that you spoke about Tapas and Niyama's. I'm Indian, and I love yoga practices that include eastern philosophies rather than just a 'body workout'. Thank you for this beautiful video. Aum.

[@streamline3549]

Truly one of my favourite classes of yours, and one that I come back to the most. Love the long holds and unrushed transitions, feels so great to work on strength in a slow-paced way. Leaves me feeling so good. Would love more such classes.

[@reubenmcneil2346]

challenging, but not in a discouraging way. thank you for being upfront about both how the poses challenged you and about how many breaths were left in the harder ones! it made it that much easier for me to push onwards. i hope you do more of these!

[@3mitty930]

Hi, from Japan! This power yoga works for my 6 months lasted back pain. Somehow this long holding sequence corrected my posterior chain. The pain did not completely gone but ease the pain. Thank you, Kassandra!

[@janettorres73]

Yay, I did it! Yoga was a 40th birthday present to myself, I’ve been practicing for over two decades now. This challenging practice was a good reminder that I still somehow got it! Best present ever. Thank you for sharing your practice. Have a blessed day and hope to see you again mañana! 👯‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💕🥰

[@leisahowlett]

I've done this particular class three times now about a week apart and I'm really noticing my strength and flexibility getting better each time. Would like more power classes like this 👌

[@luciehsuen8981]

Thanks Kassandra. Love the holds in this practice. I was talking to myself as I hold the poses. Yes. I can. I did it. I am proud of myself. Thanks for the confidence & encouragement. 👍❤️

[@rheamanoza8257]

Thank you Kassandra for helping achieve wellbeing through your yoga videos. You are really amazing. I pray that you would be blessed with more strength and grace to continue guiding others towards healthy mind and body.

[@Meglit]

Thanks so much Kassandra! I've been doing your classes for years and I love how you mix it up and introduce me to new methods. I would love to see more of these power yoga sessions!

[@Mrs_Jones222]

Loved this practice. Please upload more content like this. I’ve been doing yoga with you almost daily for about a year and a half now and it has changed my life. I actually just signed up for online training so I can become a certified yoga instructor all because of you. Thank you so much.

[@jaspreetsaini7779]

This is one of the best channels i came across on utube. Have been following u mam for a year. These videos have made my mornings and my life in general more beautiful and calming. This video was super valuable. Loved doing the practice. I am grateful to u and to God that i came across this.❤❤

[@FartherTogether]

Yes,please! More of these! Challenging, but not impossible.

[@reeselee1501]

Two months ago, I shook like a leaf whenever I try to balance on one leg, and I couldn't do a side plank to save my life. Being able to get through this session showed me how much I have gotten better and stronger practicing yoga with you every day. Thank you so, so much! ❤

[@adinascortescu7516]

My first power yoga class with such long-held poses. I looooved it! I've been a silent & lazy fan of your ying yoga classes for years, but I'm overwhelmed with excitement. 🙂 How can you keep surprising me?!? THANK YOU!

[@ilseiargrigoreva2793]

I found out that not the criticism on yourself but words of support and love helped me to go through the hardest poses. Same as in life. I am very thankful for this ♥♥

[@golynn]

Thanks Kassandra! As others have said, you’ve elevated my yoga, built strength in my body as well as my mind, and helped me be a better person. ♥️

[@1609ash]

Loved this class. So much I’ve done it twice already! Really enjoyed the challenge and sitting in the discomfort. More long holds and power classes please 🙏🏼. Thank you!

[@charlinevicensmaradiaga231]

This class was exactly what I needed! It was a bit difficult but it made me challenge myself and realize what are things I need to stop spending my time and energy. Kassandra you are the best, thank you for these classes!

[@jocheung7703]

It was lovely, exactly what I needed. Love your guidance not only for the asana and breathing but also for the reflections and reminder of self-compassion. Beautiful work, thank you Kassandra! Nameste.

[@jura2288]

This was just what I needed today after a rough night with my sick baby. It reassured me how strong I am and almost brought me to tears in the end. So much relief! Thank you, Kassandra

[@lupianis]

For the past weeks I have reflected my yoga journey. I started only at 13 and now I'm 19. I can't believe how strong I have become mentally and physically. This class proved that once more. Thank you for providing space to be and do yoga💕🙏

[@deborahlaudenslager2732]

I loved this class! The slower transitions and longer holds are exactly what I need right now!

[@deyanastoeva6258]

This was a perfect start to my Saturday morning. Thank you, Kassandra! I really enjoy intermediate-level power yoga classes and I love the combination of building strength, but also focusing on balance, breath, and slow flows. I feel great 🤗

[@reginatenorio4466]

I LOVED IT! Apart from the challenging sequences, I really liked the idea entangled in Tapas. I would appreciate if you did more power yoga classes like this one! Thank you for keeping me on my mat, Kassandra! 🧘🏻‍♀️💜🤍

[@karladodge]

56 years young and I can still keep up. Thank you for your clear calm guidance.🙏

[@sonnescheint593]

Wow,, this was exactly what I needed. I registered this morning for a free trial in an online gym. I couldn't even watch the first 1min, it was so stressful and not fun at all. Moving my body with your class was so so perfect, this is how I wanna redefine sports again. Mindful, empowering, compassionate. I am feeling amazing. I would love more of those classes :) Thanks for your classes Kassandra, I am following you for more than 5 years now :)

[@sarahcoates155]

Great practice thank you Kassandra! I particularly enjoy your minimal cues classes with long holds so this one was perfect. Lots of time to enter into the posture, the breath, and the stillness. More like this, please!

[@egyptianmaryam]

I've done this twice so far and I can only tell you it seems it's changing my life and I'm already a shaman... Please make more of these they melt karma away. Incredibly grateful ❤️.

[@claudiaf6637]

Having been on holiday with no regular practice on the mat, I have to say that I am very proud to find that this is exactly what I needed. I perservered even through the underarm plank, but found humble warrior surprisingly difficult. Thank you for this wonderful preactise and your guidance.

[@tanjamarcuk4155]

This practice was totally awesome.Thanks Kassandra for your lovely nature and wonderful guidance. More of this kind of practice would be fantastic but anything you do is much and appreciated.Thank you xx

[@lanaoceanic2429]

One of my favorite sequences, a perfect balance of mindfulness development and power work out. Energizing yet centering, thank you so much, Kassandra, for your beautiful work and for sharing it generously with us 💙🙏🪷

[@aubreehaislip7218]

Lately I have been doing a lot of power vinyasa flows from your channel and the other day I decided to change it up with a “slow flow”. I realized at the end that it had been so challenging in a whole new way 😅 loved this one as well. Not just a physical action but takes mental stamina too! Thanks Kassandra 💙

[@tiarayong5377]

Thank you Kassandra I really love that this sequence focused on the heat within each pose. I will definitely sleep well tonight. I also appreciate the pace which differs from my usual experience of power yoga with a faster pace sequencing. Would love more like this.

[@youfirstyoga]

The hold in the split is great !! Love the full activation it creates in my core helping me really stabilize my lower back. I find that activating the core and then doing reclined twists really helps my low back stiffness.

[@fernandolspptagr7463]

I think that the inner dialogue is more challenging than the postures. Accepting and embracing with compassion the dialogue (it’s hard, I can’t, my legs are burning…) makes all the practice more enjoyable. I think. Namaste 🙏🏼

[@fernandolspptagr7463]

Challenging or not, I feel great and grateful after this class, one of my favourites. Namaste.

[@pamelashironaka7516]

Loved how energizing this practice was. I have a different attitude from 40 mins ago. AWESOME!!

[@terraflyer23]

Your exercises are always great Kassandra, would love to see more like this! What keeps me going has long been thinking about my best friend, and how I can help make our lives better. Unfortunately she's no longer with us, but my inner image of her still gives me strength, amidst the nostalgia and the sadness.

[@stacyussery91]

I revisited this practice tonight. I loved it when you first uploaded it and I still love it! I have been going through a lot these last few months towards the end of 2022 and this class just helped me feel empowered and strong again! Would love more tapas power videos! 🥰

[@LaStreisand]

I definitely found this tough but loved how you balanced out the long hold strength poses with breaks. I also found it easier to hold them for longer when I knew what to expect and how many breaths they would last. I liked that you acknowledged it was tough as well, I find with some instructors they refer to a really long downward dog as a rest pose, and to things that feel really burningly hard as "lovely" etc, which can feel alienating. Definitely up for more power yoga, as well as longer vids, flows with a combination of tough stuff evened out with gentle stretch breaks. Thanks so much! ❤

[@tiiakontkanen3168]

I've now done this class and your other strong but slow flows multiple times and I'd love to have new ones. These classes perfectly challenge my body and mind. As an added bonus these strong but slow classes are perfect warm up to pincha or handstand practice. So please make more of these and huge thank you!

[@DanniSurprise]

This was just what i needed! I feel like with a lot of Yoga flows it doesn’t take enough time in the poses and once i arrived in a pose the class already moves on so this was perfect to really get settled in. Thank you Kassandra!

[@lizr9755]

Haven't been on the mat in a month or so. I was a little intimidated in general and figured it would take some time to decide on which practice would be right this morning. I didn't even need to search...first video I saw and it was exactly what I needed. Would love to see more like this. Thank you!

[@cinnamongirl3070]

"Lingering in discomfort." That really is the only way to grow, getting outside one's little comfort box. Appreciate the more challenging strength theme. Would love to see more strength-based classes in the future.

[@vervex]

Thank you! It was easier than I thought it would be… if you have one even tougher, I’d be among those super interested to try it! Thanks again ❤

[@elysebuligan4209]

Un beau défi d’endurance et de souplesse. Mille mercis.

[@aakritiarora89]

ah man! i can'tt even begin to tell you how much i appreciate your channel! i have seen my body become stronger through practises you teach. much grateful to you and to your knowledge

[@thymromarin2348]

Thank you so much for this pratice. it's the third time I am doing it, and each time you guide me through the tough moments with calm, and I do feel so much better after. I so need this in my chaos now as my husband lies in an hospital bed. Thank you so much, it's the perfect amount of time and enrgy I needed !

[@justynakliczek4545]

Wonderful mix of strength and relaxation :) Thank you, Kassandra, for being so gently encouraging throughout.

[@celined.1232]

Merci Kassandra, pour cette séance qui nous donne de la force ! Thank you so much for strengthening us through this very calm et subtle practice.

[@allisonbywater3307]

Thank you so much Kassandra. What a powerful way to start my day. I would love more classes like this. So much gratitude for everything you do

[@couchshrimp1605]

I did this as an evening workout with a friend and it was the best. Truly sets your mind in the present and brings up the heart rate. the fire was so real and I'll definitely be coming back for more 😄

[@serenabarth]

This was GREAT! I really enjoyed the longer holds as opposed to the shorter, flowing style. Great to change it up! I’d love more of these!
