Two years ago I changed my life completely . I can’t remember why I started my fitness journey but now I wake up at 5, go to bed at 8, I’m strength training and training as an equestrian, I’m more organized, my space always is clean, I love cooking. I don’t know what had hit me in my head but thanks to it!

[xenagonzalez]

I do this every morning now! The 1st time I did I i was so inflexible and I said oh no! But I remained consistent and made sure to make it the 1st thing on my to do list along with praying. It’s a great addition to any morning routine!

[xChick]

In Cassie’s most soothing voice ever “And then you’re going to go from peaceful to striippper.”
I laughed so hard that I fell over.

[debjanihalder]

I actually love how it's not only the stretches but her positivity to start the day off with, that sticks, you know? It's motivating, just having her reassuring you every morning while you stretch. I generally don't like exercises where people talk too much, but she's the exception.

[kunjandedhia]

This routine is addictive, I can’t seem to start my day without it

[peko]

My body is pretty inflexible and stiff but I definitely felt refreshed after the stretch. I'll try it every day!

[weeweeworm]

these stretches are my absolute favourite, my boyfriend and I do them every morning and it literally is the most refreshing way to start a day. thank you for continuously uploading great content that allows me to focus some time on myself and my body. I feel great <3

[AmandaxLy]

I am such a night owl but I’m trying to be a morning person. It’s so tough but videos like these are so encouraging and helpful for me! Thanks for this awesome yoga stretch Blogilates!

[kathleencattle]

Thank you for your video. Because of you I wake up in the morning with a purpose during quarantine. On my first day I cleaned my entire apartment, finished a lot of lesson planning for the future and studied for my Chinese exam. I owe it all to you x

[neithsobek]

I've been watching blogilates for 7 years now!! She always makes me feel so positive about my body and my goals in life. I'm so glad I found her on YouTube xx

Early bird here 🙋🏻‍♀️
I wake up everyday 5:30-6am. Thank you for this. My grandma use to say the first thing you should do every morning is stretch. 🙌👍

[tliving]

That was the best morning stretch I've found, love it so much!

[derpykey]

I go to bed at 9:30, and wake up at 8:10, I tried changing my sleep schedule for school, because it’s starting in about a week, and you know sleeping well and being healthy makes you learn faster and better, also gives you more energy 😆😁😁❤️❤️❤️

[Lyric-mv]

Wow that stretch was amazing ☺ I'm feeling energized even though it's the afternoon lol I overslept today 😧 I'm adding healthy habits to my daily routine and trying to stick to a better sleep and wake up schedule 💤 tomorrow is a new day at least I'm trying ☺

[nataliariveralopez]

I've been waking up at 6.am for this whole week, and i always do yoga. I've discovered it's not so hard and as you say, it's incredible. Here in Spain no one wakes up that time! And students less. This country doesn't get the sleep hours It needs.

[konstantinamiari]

Cassey I'm a Greek girl, trying to get into university which means I'm taking private lessons. I get back from school at 2.30 and then I have private lessons 3h/day and I also have to study which I need at least 3 hours for. Can you do a series for short workouts? Maybe ones that I can do between my study breaks? and also is there anything affective so I can lose a bit of weight with that schedule?

[lactobubblo]

I like how Cassie actually talks with us to get us motivated and really she talks on her health life like how she wakes up and I think to me that’s very good it motivates me to try waking up early

[ladyspellbreaker]

I found this video by divine appointment! It’s my new morning flow! Thank you so much! I love the yogi squat to help my hips open back up after a torn adductor muscle injury last year. This is so perfect for stretch for me! Many blessings to all You beautiful Souls!

"I wanna work my way up towards maybe 6:00"

Me: *already proud of myself for waking up before 12 noon*

Quarantine wrecked my body clock
