Lovely class. I'm 75 and don't manage the jumps but I often return to this sequence as I find it really stimulating and the instructions so clear. Thank you
Hi Harris, brilliant! No need to jump, we all must modify according to our body condition. I have some students that do the same video over and over each day. Each day on the mat creates that imprint on the body mind and spirt! All my best, keep up the good work. 🙏🏻♥️
Hey Kathy, this was great as always. Thank you so much. Would you prepare some more morning classes for us. Then is when I can do my Iyengar (4:30 am 😮😂) and I am wondering if there aren’t many other like me out there. I started Iyengar 16 years ago with Sarah Perron. That was the greatest time of my life and you are bringing it back to me. Thank you so much!!!
Hi Laura, I think I just uploaded another a few days ago. Thanks for the feedback. Happy to be a part of your revisit to days of old. As we age it becomes more and more important! See you soon. Much love ❤️
Thank you so much! I love your classes and have started doing them often in the morning. The only other comment I have- is that it would be helpful to me to know upfront what props I will need and whether I should set myself up at a wall. Again, thank you so much for your classes. They make such a difference.
Hi Kathy, I really enjoyed the class and didn't realise half an hour was up so quickly. Would it be possible to do a longer version of a full body class?
Certainly, I have a few in the planning stages. Wonderful you are enjoying your practice. When fully engaged time flies! In the meantime, you can always combine a few segments. 🙏🏻
Dear Kathy This morning I wake up very cramped on the legs because yesterday I walk for three hours with my dog (IAM A DOG LOVER AND WALK LOVER) Today I found comfort already from the standing poses which I practice them double from you on the video 4 times trikonasana 4 times parsvakonasa I followed the original pace at Vimasana and virabhadrasana1 I love this vimasana for the twist of the back side make great sense to virabhadra 1 I love the use of the belt in setubadha sarvangasana Viparita karani was the perfect cresento for tired legs and exhausted mind Your teachings are so so so much appreciated Namaste Athens Greece
Hi Kathy, i am so grateful to you, thank you for helping all of us online. Yoga has helped me so much just to deal with normal stuff every day, stress . Its medicine for my soul and body. Thank you again Kathy, you are brilliant in what you do... Namaste 💕
Alma wonderful to hear the results in your practice. Yes yoga helps us live life each day, struggles and all with more awareness regarding our choices and with a positive perspective. ❤️🙏🏻
We have so many ways to practice to bring understanding starting with our physical body. Moving energy through the many paths and layers inward. Involution. Namaste, Kathy
Hi Catherine, nice to meet you! There is a wide selection of classes on the website. If you are subscribed to the channel you can also see the classes in RU-vid according to the type. Enjoy your time on the mat practicing. Namaskar
Hi Kathy, what an excellent class. Thank you so much. You are so wise to have told me that the longer i practise the better you understand. I am on a journey and yoga is part of my daily routine.. Namaste 💕
Hi Alma, our practice is developed according to the time we spend. Our bodies are always changing so stay curious and observe what you feel and how you can understand what is needed as you practice. ❤️❤️
Hi Pushpa Kanthy, so nice to hear from you. Hope you are well after the strong weekend practice :) Happy these video are available to guide you. Namaste, k
Hi Kathy, I love your yoga sequences. I have been practicing it for the past 1 month. I wanted to ask if you could do a half an hour session on better digestion or relieving constipation.
Hi Dipti!, Happy to read you are enjoying the practice. I will keep your request in mind as I create upcoming sessions. Thanks so much for your feedback and for reaching out. Enjoy and see you soon. XX
This is such a great sequence. Thank you so much 🙏 Small suggestion: the audio is very noisy, there seems to be some construction work going on in the background :) It would be perfect if you could somehow edit the audio track (in this video and others as well). Thank you so much
Hi Ronan, Thanks for your feedback. I believe we have corrected the sound since that class. Please have a look at the other sessions for better clarity. Thanks for joining in. Namaste, Kathy
If you want to learn the basics of Iyengar Yoga, this is the 18-lesson course I've created for beginners, seasoned practitioners to go back to the basics, and teachers to get inspirations. app.namastream.com/desa-yogi/product/41092/about
Excellent, this is the right approach and thinking. Continuous practice reveals the way for deeper understanding within the body and the mind. All my best. ❤️❤️
Hi Regen, Yes, I agree, so nice to hold longer, we are able to connect deeper. Meditation in action. Some classes we hold longer, reach around and enjoy. Namaskar
This is a 30 minute class. If you want more preparation before the standing postures, do the class with supta Padangustasana first. In this class we warmup with utkatasana and some arm movements. The basic standing postures are a warm up in themselves. If you want to go slower, may I recommend by Foundation Course which will take you thorough gentle warming up for the arms, shoulders and lower and uper trunk before moving on. Let me know your age and if you have any injuries. Namaste
One of the worst yoga sessions I have ever done, this is coming from someone who has completed over 200 sessions, and has professional Vinyasa classes bi-weekly. I like that u mention the real Hindu name of each pose, but Chatuspadasana is not done like that. I have chronic knee problems, and your way of doing that pose makes my problem worse, isn't that the opposite of what yoga is supposed to do? Your knees and legs need to be spread wider apart, which avoids so much unnecessary knee pressure. If someone who hasn't studied yoga is teaching a teacher, I don't think she is worth my time, sorry.
Dear Anton, First of all, I appreciate your comments. I think all feedback is good. You are correct, yoga must be adjusted according to your individual body condition. In your case legs further away. In this demo my feet are hips width apart and closer to the shoulders. In the final pose, we take hold of the ankles which in your case would cause knee pain. Additionally if one cannot get the lift of the upper body, this will add more pressure. I would ask you to move your feet further away, take a strap and lift up. Maintains more space, width and length. Chatushpadasana can be a demanding pose so I purposely did not take the more demanding pose. There are other variations one can do as you progress to the final pose. In order to get into the pose or to take the full pose the shoulder movement must be there ultimately to create a bridge with the shoulders and the feet/legs stabilizing the lift. Translated 4 points, we use those for 4 points to connect with the earth and lift from there. Once feet are in position and all is good with the knee positioning (adjust if necessary), then we work with shortening the space by walking the arms in closer to the feet with the rotation to use the downward pressure of the arms to lift the chest to the maximum. There are times when a short/quick video does not give all the info needed. Of course, an in person class or teachers training session, or even, one of the longer sessions in the Foundation Course is much more in depth. One other note, I find, not all the different schools of yoga these days agree on the names of asana nor the way to practice. In Iyengar yoga we work with classic poses as taught by BKS Iyengar and the Iyengar family. Their years of teaching and experience have informed our teaching. My experience is over 32 years of teaching and practicing. On line classes are a new perspective to practice and learn. Apologies if I have misrepresented any aspect, all the fault would be with my communication. All my best in your practice going forward. Namaste, Kathy
