I am an adult ballet beginner. After one year of learning, I find yoga extremely useful for flexibility and mobility. Thank you for sharing all these beginner-friendly, useful information!

[viragdorner]

This was soooo helpful, thank you!❤I was struggling for a while now with this pose cause it seems so simple, yet I never knew exactly how to do it and always felt weird:D

[alainaval]

This is so incredibly helpful. I’m so stoked I stumbled across your channel! Thank you for all you do, girl ❤

So well explained, thank you! Do you have any tips or drills to improve the compression between torso and thighs? I found it really difficult to keep those together (even with very bent knees). I also notice that as an inconvenience when trying to press into headstand (crouch position). I can’t find a lot of drills on the topic, so maybe you already gave some tips here or on Instagram and I’ve just missed out. Thank you so much!!

What if lower back arches?

I don't want to scare anyone but I just had the frightening experience of having a "bleed" in each of my eyes. I have been practicing yoga for many years and fairly recently have been doing yin yoga. My doctor said for the next four weeks, "do not stand on my head". I never stand on my head but I do many other poses where my head is dangling. I'm afraid that these poses have contributed to a higher pressure in my eyes and therefore perhaps caused the bleed. I am almost 70 years old and the doctor did say that as we age, there are changes in the inner eye structure that contribute to this occurrence. Again, I don't want to scare anyone but it's food for thought...especially if you're older. I'm hoping to be able to get back to practicing at some point.

Hi Liv! I loved the video but I have one question since I have trouble to extend my legs while trying to leave my chest and legs touching, though I can extend the legs with a straight back and touch the floor with my hands. If this is the case, what should I work towards being more flexible to be able to do this?

[katharch]

Easier said than done. How do I push the sit bones to the sky? How do I lengthen my lower back? mine won't move. are there any stretches that will held with

The problem for me is that when I bend over the highest part of me is my lower back, no i cannot lengthen it. My hips just cannot rotate forewards that much.

[geofftilling]

How long do you hold these individual exercises for? Thank you. Kind regards, Geoff

[jaysysumakaRatMaster]

Got to say I’m feeling progress with my forward fold. Also using a weighted Jefferson curl along with a number of your video’s.

Many thanks for the content Liv, your channels been a great help as I progress with my Yoga journey.

I’ve attended a number of Hot Pod Yoga sessions which I find very enjoyable as the heat allows for a little more mobility.
