I’ve done this video many times and as always I love the amount you hold poses and the amount of 3/6 breathing. What is the pain music? It’s really simple and helps to relax. I’ve noticed it on other videos maybe as well. Thank you so much! I feel better in my nervous system and therefore body tension is less tense !

I feel really tired, depressed, sad and lonely due to the fact that im dealing with the complications of liver disease, advanced stage cirrhosis of the liver, that I was given at birth from my biological mother. I couldn't sleep last night because I overthink and now I promised I'd go to church. But I really wanna go back to sleep. I made sure that I did my daily practice with you though because it's very important to me. Thank you so much for being there for me. A lot of people have abandoned me due to my illness and it hurts. But, when I think of you and all your sweet precious Furbabies, it makes my heart smile . And bless your sweet little angel Cleo who is always watching over you. Thank you all for everything you do, blessings and love from my heart to yours, namaste 🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏻🕉☀️🌳🍂🍁🍃🍂🍁🍃🍂🍁🍃🌻🐞🌻🌸🦋🌸🐦🎶😘🐶🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐾🐾🐾❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹♥️♥️♥️❤️❤️❤️❣️❣️❣️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ 39:23

Exactly 1 year ago I went through a very hard breakup, that's when I found your video's. I'm not kidding when I say your video's saved my life. 1 year later and I'm still doing yoga every day thanks to you! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this possible, for your time and effort. For being who you are. Thank you thank you thank you. 💗

[@matthewdalton4546]

I use this video everyday of my life. It saved me from some low times. Alongside cold showers I feel absolutely amazing every single day. The music and routine is perfect.

[@cgrow29]

Kassandra, please know that even years after posting these videos, they help people like me so much. Over the last few weeks, I’ve ran into a scary new time with my anxiety…to the point where I’ve spiraled into fears of stopping my own heart out of accidental will (I know, this sounds absolutely insane). I’m so exhausted, but I’m afraid to sleep. My body is confusing the calm feeling of falling asleep, for death, triggering a multitude of new symptoms I’m not used to - like sweaty palms, tingling in the feet/hands, lightheadedness, faint heartbeat, lack of focus and memory, trembling/shivering, disassociation from my body, numbness, back/neck pain, a weird rollercoaster feeling in my heart/stomach. It’s just been awful. I do your mini yoga classes in either the morning or night, but wow, after doing this practice, I feel so warm and whole for the first time in WEEKS. I don’t feel my internal jitters at all. I’m so excited to lay down and see if I can sleep now. And even if I can’t, I just want to thank you for making me feel normal for a few minutes. I’m so grateful for any moment I get to feel like the “old me”. I’ll be clinging onto this practice until I can find a fitting therapist. Thank you, so, so much. You are so greatly appreciated 💙

[@shannonwhyte9961]

I keep returning to this class. So good and always feel so much better afterward

[@Amanda-oi2rc]

I always do this routine when I feel stressed or anxious, and it calms down my whole nervous system effectively, and changes my perspective. Thank you, Kassandra 😌❤️

[@sharoncullinane2210]

I needed this, thank you. My body was stressed out from too much physical labor. I feel so much better now. Bless you.

[@susank5289]

Just what needed this morning. The timing of the "clouds" visual was perfect. Thank you Kassandra.

[@just_sadhana]

Recovering from physical and mental stress today and this was perfect! Thank you so much Kassandra 🙏🏽

[@susanprevost4856]

My husband (73 years old who suffers from chronic headaches) joined me today for this practice. So enjoyed this class.

[@RaviPritamYoga]

40 minutes just flew by! I didn't want it to end. Thank you for a beautiful practice. I feel much more relaxed now.

[@lucindaswarts9951]

This yoga practice was so amazing, I feel so relaxed and peaceful. This is exactly what I needed emotionally and physically, thank you so much😘❤️🙏

[@poleflowberlin3736]

One of my favorite yin sequence ever 💛 would love to see more in this style 🙏🏽

[@MariaFridmanBeckmans]

Same!

[@lisacollins4450]

I've been going through a lot and it really caught up with me this evening. I can't believe how much this practice helped. Cried through the first few poses but so much calmer now. Knowing you were feeling stress as well made me not feel alone too. Thank you!

[@ТатьянаМануковская-г6м]

A million thanks for all your work for millions of people! Your workouts very often just return mind and spirit to optimism and peace!

[@gabriellerose3609]

Oh my goodness, the end was so cute! I really enjoyed this class, my week has been truly awful, one large scale problem after another. This practice reminded me of what I already knew, this is not lasting. Even darkness must pass. Thank you for all that you do.

[@sundaywise2799]

This was incredible and exactly what I needed. I’m in a completely different mindset then I was when I started this practice. Thank you, Kassandra!

[@christinadehayes6541]

Hands down, you have created the absolute best yin yoga content available online. Thank you so very much for sharing these.

[@linda2945]

These classes are about the only thing that helps with the stress & anxiety of dealing with this virus, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheBchorney]

This has been my favorite practice for a few months. 2020 has been stressful. Thank you for this!

[@michelapannacci5259]

You're so sweet, Kassandra. Thanks for all the love you put in these classes❤️

[@tawnaye]

This saved my life 100/10 I recommend her to everyone I know

[@irynapatzer3489]

Thank you for this stress relief practice. Working 12 hours a day trying to complete validations of COVID19 antibodies gots to me so awful that I had a melt down. I feel a lot calmer and focused now. I’m going to continue working today for the best for our clinical trials patients.

[@viviantheriault5730]

Thank you for all you do!! This is certainly a class I'll do on repeat. Namaste

[@servena9831]

I was crying at the end of this practice. Everything just came spilling out. But then there was that bit at the end with you and your dog and that was so precious, thank you so much.

[@Kelly-oj4yi]

I come back to this constantly. Perfect for stress relief

[@innatehabits]

I had tears in this one. These practice are really useful, I'm currently going through a season of change and transcendence and it's very challenging. It is such practises that help me navigate with ease. Thank you Kassandra, your services are life saving, I appreciate you. ❤

[@debrabringenberg1137]

This is one of my favorite go-to sessions, even though I have practiced yoga for many years! It always feels good; especially when I’m stressed.

[@gloriabennett326]

Yin yoga is amazing especially at bedtime (9pm AZ)…. Thank you!!

[@paulat7959]

Doing this class after a horrendous day for the US. Hoping for a peaceful transition.

[@RisingNutrition]

We just wanted to let you know that we love this video and all of your others and when my neighbor and I get together to practice yoga, we go for your videos!

[@wendyw7522]

The exercises, the gentle music, your voice.... bliss! Thank you so much.

[@bloomremedies9848]

I just love your videos and am so glad i found you.... my mum recently passed away, and having these beautiful yin practices to tap into whenever I need them, as a support during my grief, has been so invaluable. Huge gratitude from me to you Kassandra, thank you. Marie x

[@astro61362]

My wife and I watched and participated with your video this evening because it was too rainy in Houston to go to our regular Yin class. We enjoyed your class very much. Thank you.

[@ppjctotoro]

This class was great, it softened up my body and mind, after finishing I immediately curled up on the sofa and had a nap! The extra rest was good as I have been dreaming stress dreams about work and not feeling rested after a night’s sleep.

[@mariat542]

Bless you Kassandra. I allowed stress to overwhelm me these past few months. I've neglected my yoga & pilates practice. Tonight I found stillness in this practice . Thankyou so much 🙏💖

[@Emmamit89765]

Kassandra this video has lifted me so much, I wish I could give you a big hug to say thank you. Thank you so so much for your teachings x

[@lyd-mai6907]

This class showed up at just the right time for me. I wasn't even looking for a stress and anxiety relief yoga class. I have been experiencing significant stress from trying to balance family drama, school, work, and have neglected myself the last several months. I spent the morning in urgent care because I thought I had appendicitis. Turns out I was having an abdominal migraine brought on by stress. That was my signal that I need to prioritize myself, and know that all the issues I am struggling with will pass. I can handle it, and I can't let it dominate my life. This class made me feel more peace than I have felt in a long time. Thank you, I appreciate you 💜

[@juliedoneymindfulness]

After a long week, and my first anxiety attack in years, this practice was SO appreciated. Wow, what timing. Thank you for being in tune to our needs, Kassandra!

[@SueKohsings]

Hello Kassandra, I feel so supported and beginning to feel into my body, so much of my life is filled with anxiety from many sources and for many reasons. Your calming voice and serene presence and natural flow of yoga give me so much hope! My body is feeling better and stronger and I'm actually able to follow this practice. Thank you, my Yogi friend, Namaste

[@missasmita]

I have been doing Yin Yoga with you for a few eeeks now. Not only I have discovered a new way of life but I have also started healing and meeting my inner-child. Some days I shed some tears while the healing but overall I feel very grateful for life. Much thanks to you Kassandra, metta :)

[@marjanmassage3520]

Hi Kassandra, your yoga classes get me through the Lockdown we have here in Spain. I am very grateful for your calming influence. Thank you!

[@leontienruissen6028]

My favorite class when I'm extremely tired or stressed out. It really helps. Thanks Kassandra!

[@carolpridgeon9387]

Thank you Kassandra. I so appreciate your yin yoga videos. I have been practicing with you for several years and you are one of my most favorite yoga instructors.. Namaste'

[@i_am_jacky8816]

I'm so happy that I clicked on that video cause I was feeling exactly the same! Overwhelmed, stressed, thoughts running wild - did some yoga on my own before but that "didn't work" and I almost didn't want to do a guided yoga sequence. But then you talked about neglecting yoga practices when most needed.... and now I'm calm. Grounded. ✨😌 Thank you!

[@melodieporter546]

I have just found you last few weeks and am realizing that I am in LOVE. I DO so much and never stop, but these videos allow me to stretch my body and slow down and still feel amazing! Thank you!

[@emiliehughes5947]

Had a huge emotional release at the end and feel much lighter, thanks so much Kassandra for making these! 🙏

[@amandamichelle4854]

Sometimes it's crazy how relevant your classes are to what I'm going through. Everybody I've spoken to lately is absolutely exhausted & feeling drained. I'm so grateful for this 3 day weekend to rest, relax and get back into my yoga practice. Thanks so much!

[@yogawithkassandra]

I've heard that a lot as well.. Not sure why but I'm glad I have a yoga practice to turn to when it's needed

[@cgill105]

Thank you Kassandra I feel so blessed by you.

[@mariabr5119]

Thank you Kassandra. I love this practice. I had so much inner stress before and now I truly feel sooo much better. The music is just perfect. Not too loud or overwhelming.

[@LuminousLibro]

I come back to this one again and again!

[@abbyhuntley3171]

Oh my gosh, just when I thought this video couldn't get any better, Luna appeared! Perfect end to a hot day x

[@sunnysherrirestorativeyoga2421]

Thank you for sharing this gift with us! It's so beautiful that you turned the camera on and shared this practice when you were dealing with stress yourself. Namaste, many blessings to you

[@user-dv2ku4rb3h]

Thank you for this video. I had a panic attack and was experiencing anxiety after the attack. I couldn't sleep and was just restless. This practice really helped me to calm down and be in control of my body and mind. So, thank you again.

[@cgill105]

I have tried many other yin yoga sessions for stress and i keep coming back to you here others are either too fast or too loud. thank you ikassandra

[@gayatriyadav1796]

I did this practice in the middle of a work day. It was so soothing. I have been following your channel for a few months now. I cant be thankful enough to you!! In love with following your Yoga sessions!

[@dondondonify]

Just finished this practice. Your intro was exactly where I was before the practice. I knew that yoga was the way to go, but I neglected self care. Negative thoughts took over, my mind was constantly running with them. Even during the practice I was feeling those negative stressful emotions. However, by the time I reached shavasana, automatically my thoughts had shifted to gratitude with a smile on my face! So powerful! Thank you. I love your channel and everything you offer!! Grateful!!!

[@silviamadrisa]

Thank you so much! I awoke today with so much anxiety from yesterday I needed a series of radical self-care practices to ground myself into my body again. This Yin yoga practice was for night time before bed and it has ccmpleted the process of returning me to my body more fully. Because I am not supposed to do figure-4 poses right now, I substituted the one pose for a child's pose with bolster and that was good. I ended up feeling so much love, inner strength, gratitude and a sense of really occuping my body and being connected to it, which is wonderful! Thank you, Kassandra, for sharing your beautiful practice with us.

[@antoinesteeghs7313]

Knowing How Bussy this week will be this was a Nice way to start the monday

[@rogertueting9038]

Great Dog. Pets & Yin - both help put our minds elsewhere when we need to let go.

[@madelineprusmann6039]

This was like big hug of nurturing yoga, which is just what I needed. Thank you. I feel much more grounded and relaxed. Loved your dog chasing her tail at the end. Brought a big smile to my face. Namaste xo

[@susangoodrichlerner7819]

I have GAD. As a long time yoga practitioner and teacher, I found this practice deeply relaxing! I just discovered and subscribed to your channel. Thanks Kassandra! Namaste

[@amyahn231]

I feel lighter and calmer yet recharged after this practice. Kassandra, your classes are beautiful and I appreciate what you do! The Yin classes in particular have helped to keep me grounded in the weeks gone by and I love finding the balance between this style and the hatha/vinyasa. I knew I needed to leave you a comment after I experienced a feeling of bliss during Savasana- it's like my mind was free from the constant stream of thoughts and background noise for the first time in quite a while. You're definitely one of my absolute favourite yoga teachers.

[@MM-ge7oi]

Thank you for this lessen. Happy surprise at last minutes, Luna is so cute to chase her tail, which makes me smile and release my tensions. I cannot thank enough to you, I can overcome depression with your classes. Your calm voice and peaceful energy reach me. I appreciate you share your experiences and thought with us.

[@francobbold6388]

Thanks yet again Kassandra, what would we all do without you 🙏

[@kirstythomson7539]

Thank you so much Kassandra. I'm new to yoga and really love your sessions and this is helping me work through anxiety and post trauma . Much appreciated.

[@cydellagj]

Hi Kassandra! For two month now, I discover Yin yoga with you. I practice hatha, vinyasa, restorative for 7 years, but I didn't find good yin practices. I thank you cause this practice is much harder than it seems....patience is not my first quality and Yin helps me for that. Somebody else wants to thank you: my low back! I suffer for years from low back pain cause of my work and yoga helped me a lot but Yin yoga relieve totally the pain and I don't have to take medication when I can practice. This time of year is really stressful for a lot of people, and this session was magic for me last night, I almost get asleep on my mat....so here I am again to practice it tonight. Thanks again!

[@yogawithkassandra]

That's amazing!!

[@darenorsbern2513]

seriously, thank you for a stress/anxiety relief session. I only started trying yoga a couple days ago but its helping so far. I recently lost someone I love deeply because of my own actions. it takes so much from me everyday. I have times where I feel like I want to breakdown, but I cant. im trying to focus on other things like music, but the stress of it all drifts me away from just putting time into it. doing these stretches, it helps little by little letting me find the strength again to continue and not lay in bed all day. I hope to find more anti-anxiety practices like this. it helps.

[@lynnpower6686]

I so needed this...forward fold is really challenging for me, not relaxing at all, have to use a tall bolster to rest my forehead on..beyond that a lovely practice, thanks!

[@isabellshu5753]

I feel radiant after this session. Thank you

[@Kris-nw6zo]

Love this one, Kassandra. I have had the worst month with stress and am having a lot of hip and hamstring tension. Slowing down and breathing always helps remind me to calm down... like you said, we neglect our practice when we need it most, thanks for the reminder and all you do!

[@eemmsann]

Best program ever for getting all that stress and anxiety out of my body and mind. I lost someone in cancer last Friday and I’ve been like a roller coaster. I do your yin yoga programs everyday but this was really calming and helped me to “get out of my body” for a little while. Thank you!🙏🏼❤️

[@LauraLynnHammett]

Thank you. I did this routine two days in a row. It got easier physically. My worries still crept in, but there were moments of relief.

[@AL-hi8rz]

Thank you Kassandra for your Yin yoga practices that make it so achievable to do at home.!! thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@sparklingcandies]

i usually watch your vinyasa videos but i need something to relieve my stress beautiful practice, thanks a lot Kassandra!

[@Ariggs25]

Exactly what I needed when the day has started challenging but ends on a much better note topped off with being able to practice this at home with good feels and better mentality. Ahhhhhhhhhh.

[@dianelynnbond]

Thank you🙏🏻I do this class every day. It is a Beautiful Class. I appreciate you🙏🏻

[@wd2347]

40 mins flew by like 5. I started out all stuck in doubts worries and feeling stuck and now I feel all relaxed again. Thanks! And your right when you feel stressed its so hard to remember to do this stuff!

[@iap3748]

The end of this video changed my life.

[@karatreloar42]

Kassandra, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! 🙏🏼 I, myself, have been very stressed, anxious, worried.. and neglecting the mat. Like you admitted, I know it only makes me feel so much better! And it has! Even tho, it was hard for me to focus on my breath cuz it has been about 4 months.. I found my zen thru simple poses, calm instruction w such peaceful tunes. You’ve reminded me why yoga is so important to me & should really be my priority for my own sanity 😇❤️✌🏼🧘🏻‍♀️

[@yogawithkassandra]

It's a great reminder for all of us!

[@miniebusto1266]

Thank you for always having this yoga,,,im so much relief ...hoping youre always have free yoga,,,have a nice day

[@kristinaj6709]

It was a first yoga in my life and I loved it! I am feeling so connected to my body now

[@anitsirk5256]

Dear Kassandra, I am loving your yin yoga practices since they help me connect to my feminine side so much. I finished teacher training in may and I love how I am learning new and helpful cues and information for my own teaching while doing your classes. So thank you, namaste 🙏🏻

[@ryalauber7214]

I look forward to Kassandra's classes at the end of my work day - a nice transition into the evening. Thank you! :-)

[@valokainulainen]

Thank you. It is important to understand the importance of self care.💕

This is one of my favorite classes!

[@leslielorenzana]

Thank you for this class. My stress has been unbearable this week. This was such a release! Thank you!

[@ArlinAmelia]

I feel like a new person. I haven't done yoga in a looong time and have been struggling with sleep, anxiety and wow at the end of this I was brought to tears. subscribed!

[@sandrakimbrough7611]

This was really good. I plan to take a yin teaching class and learning ways to manage my own anxiety with myself and to teach others how to manage it for themselves. Thank you so much for this class.

[@debrabringenberg1137]

I enjoyed this yin yoga session. I believe I had a nervous breakdown a few years ago & I am now restoring my emotions and body. Yin & restorative yoga are a godsend and blessing. Thanks, Kassandra!

[@healthcareforall-fremontco5955]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! So need calm these days.

[@nof9469]

Today was way too much, I was on the verge of hypomania, but for some reason my one brain cell of common sense told me to do yoga. Now I feel so grounded and relax, thank you!

[@KrisAnnKokes]

I love it when the pets make an appearance! :)

[@cathyrivera5910]

Today was a rough day at work, and this helped me decompress. Your yin sessions are wonderful.

[@martingodber3907]

This was wonderful. My yoga practice really improved during long lockdowns last year but, not surprisingly, things began to slip when work began again. Omicron madness in the UK at the moment means a second Christmas alone but this really helped. I’m in my fifties so the gentleness of yin really works for me. I’m also an amateur musician so piano tones help me keep my focus on my breath and avoid distracting thoughts. The time flew by!

[@carolpridgeon8200]

Sweet girl you did such a great yoga practice when you yourself were stressing. I couldn't tell at all that you were stressing and I feel much better thank you so much Kassandra namaste

[@snedmo324]

I’m a law student and it is very high stress. I carry a lot of tension in my neck, shoulders and hips and this really helped relieve it! This is my new stress relief go to for sure! Plus I enjoyed seeing Luna at the end 😊

[@hannahwood7717]

Amazing thankyou so much. Super anxious, mental health is debilitating me but yoga helps me spiritually so much. Gorgeous practice x

[@nadaalnufaie7695]

Thank you so much Kassandra for this yoga class. It went perfect 👌🏻,I practiced it after a long stressful day now I’m completely calm

[@careykornegay5499]

Wow! Thank you for this practice! I just finished my first full week back teaching elementary school from summer break, and couldn’t focus today. I had no idea how ramped and agitated I was until I tried this practice. I feel 100% more calm, centered, and peaceful. Thank you!!!

[@DarkLight-nj4py]

Between Earthquakes and Pandemic I am full of stress and anxiety. Thank you for this video it was perfectly calming.
