Caley, I’m 68 and have been doing yoga for 6 months to strengthen my core and improve my flexibility. I stumbled upon your video and I must say I was doing the poses wrong. Your instruction is excellent and easy to follow. Especially about stacking from the ground up. I have felt a tremendous improvement in a short time just from watching your video. I only do standing poses for now but I’m working my way to the floor. Thank you for job well done. I have watched many yoga videos and yours is by far the best👍 Michael in Burbank CA

This is literally the best instructional video I've come across.
I've been doing yoga for more than 2 years now and I realized how wrong I was doing all of these basic poses. No wonder I felt so much pain and tension afterwards.
But I'll make sure I do it properly next time.
Thanks a lot!❤

Others have also said this, but I very much enjoyed how thoroughly Caley covered each pose. She not only showed the right way to do it, but she also went over the common wrong ways to do it and how those wrong ways would look or feel. I found mistakes in how I have been doing several of these poses, and I feel like I have gained understanding of each form itself rather than just trying to mimic someone else. Thank you, Caley!

This girl rocks! If every teacher would have to know these things before starting to teach, it would make a world of difference; i'm really grateful for these explanations. Namaskar

Understanding the fundamentals for any subject is essential, so I watched this video to compliment what I am learning in class. And I have taken so much away from your instructions! I really want to get the most out of each pose, and your delivery is articulate, thorough and crystal clear. I am grateful I found this video and I am saving it.

I hadn't seen a teacher throughout my life who is so interested and meticulous about teaching/explaining his/her topic.

Best instructional video for yoga poses! I just started yoga, got my 2nd class today. My wife has been doing it for years. I showed her this video and she dislikes instructional videos on anything, she agreed this is one of the best instructions on staying stacked and in alignment. It's also to the point, no nonsense and easy to watch. Besides showing the proper way, she also addresses some of the common mistakes. After watching this a few times, I feel more confident to show up to class now.

You just reaffirmed to me that yoga 🧘‍♀️ is something you can’t just pretend to do. It takes skill. I am glad you explained the stacking to me. That alone is something to get used to

I enjoyed Calley Alyssa's clear description and technique in her 18 basic poses video. I've been a fitness instructor for over 30 years and a yoga instructor for over 15 years.I appreciate your clear and concise direction! Thanks

I love this video! She is quick and to the point. She is very beginner friendly and she shows how to move your body correctly.

Caley is great in so many ways. For each pose, she 1. Keeps us honest on our form. 2. Understands the science of how it works to improve our spinal alignment and the resulting associated benefits (e.g. core strength, flexibility, posture, balance), 3. Translates complex medical concepts into lay terms. 4. Isn’t too hard to look at 😉

Hi Caley
I found this video very useful to start my yoga session with knowledge of proper way to do asanas.thank you

[susank]

Finally found instruction on correct form. I didn't get the impact of yoga till I saw your video. Thank you!

[ReezwanIslamsavinglives]

By far the best yoga video on YouTube. Thank you 🙏

[TheblondJane]

I am doing daily yoga now for 1 a half - 2 still learning, I love it, yoga saved my life and back pain I had years

[LJ-jqog]

bEST YOGA INSTRUCTOR I HAVE SEEN YET 💪❤

[suesokolinski]

I appreciate that you demonstrate the correct and incorrect way to perform each pose.

[janereid]

Beautifully instructed Caley, I am about to start a yoga teacher training course and will definitely aim to teach as thoroughly as you do once I start my own classes. I’ve been to many yoga classes in my time and never once was instructed as you just clearly explained…the key is positioning…thank you so much 😌🙏

[daneslayer]

Absolutely awesome instructor, stacking & alignment helped tremendously. I will most definitely smash like & subscribe. Also, very well spoken, informative & beautiful.

[freewheelinprincess]

I love the way you teach. Thank you for explaining posture and platforms. Extremely important. Excellent video.
