Tara, not only do I find the routines easy, I find your voice very soothing and very relaxing. You have a very calming way about you. Thanks for these videos. LM
In general, you want to make a permanent lifestyle change. The reason a lot of people fail with diets is because they see it as a 'program' to lose weight, and 'programs' usually have an ending point. Making a lifestyle change is saying to yourself "from now on, for the rest of my life, I will eat differently". That being said, a diet can be like the training wheels to proper nutrition. Use one while you learn how to eat properly without it. Any diet will be fine as long as you are learning.
Stretches for a few days now and it's really helping! Could you post a 5 min or so video to warmup/stretch right before a run? I go in the mornings and I feel so stiff before I go. Thanks for the great videos!!!
you make this look extremely easy and comfortable, how long have u been doing these poses as ur definetly flexible - whereas im not, got tightness in my hips, so how often should one do these poses before you can actually feel the hips opening up - your input would be highly appreciated tara regards
Tara i have to honest i LOVE your videos but i liked your home vids better. Not sure why prolly a personality thing. Keep em commin!! loved your quick shoulder opener you had, i stock heavy bottles all day and it was great when i had some down time at work! :) THANK YOU! and namaste
I do a lot of weightlifting and have been having very tight hips affecting my bottom squat position and I've been doing the last stretch you showed and now I can go A$$ to grass without being in pain!!! :)
I hula hoop for 3-2 hours a day and its great exercise especially for your abdomen, but lately I've noticed a reduction in my flexibility of lower back/hip area and some pain. This has helped a lot, thank you very much, your videos are great.
Hi, Tara, I am so grateful I found your programs. I am a yoga intermediate but I have problems with joints elasticity. Also, my knees hurt a bit when trying on the last pose in the video. What can I do to ease pain in knees and gain more flexibility? Thank you.
i have a big problems w my hips after years of too much training, so those are my fav moves to release the tension in those tight hips of mine, very helpful tutorial
Love your videos. I am a dialysis patient and have a central line in my chest to connect to dialysis. I'm trying to find some safe yoga stretches for people on dialysis as well as yoga poses that can help your kidney function. Wondering if you might know of any that can help.
I love real time videos, hardly any of them out there though. Pilates with Cassey Ho on LivestrongWoman is really good: all her videos are real time. Also Jillian Michaels does yoga videos in real time too, though that may be a bit more intense than what you're after!
Tara! I would really appreciate it if perhaps you could do a yoga video on alleviating pain (specifically shoulder/neck/arm/wrist) caused by a pinched nerve in the neck.
+zamy I've tried this video out a handful of times. I feel like I get better blood flow now and it just felt so relieving to add a little range of motion. I will definitely keep doing this. Thank you so much
Hey there, I have a scoliosis it's pretty severe but I do not want surgery. I'm trying to really get into yoga it relieves me alot and it seems to be improving my back muscle imbalances. There is a curve to the right making my right shoulder blade stick out and up and there I a lower curve making my right hip high as well. If you could make a video on yoga for scoliosis or give me advice it would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to send you a picture of my back so you could get a better idea, please reply (: thank you. Peace
Hi Tara! i have a terrible knee pain in my right leg from doing hip opening poses. I have very tight hips and still want to do hip openers. What shall i do with my knee problem?
I commute via bicycle to work, and go running about three times a week, I recently started going to Bikram yoga (about 2 months) I love it and go 3-4 times a week, but have developed terrible soreness in my glutes. Terrible, I feel as if the deeper I stretch into my glutes I have the urge to vomit or pass out. In my head it feels like I am discovering something here....years and years off tightness release? Any advice? I wanna concur these glutes!
Hi Tara, I have tendonitis in both knees and it's really killing my drive to get up and do yoga in the morning when I have to constantly think about if I'm bending my knees too far or how to modify a pose, but I don't want to quit all together. Any suggestions?
Tara, I took a hard fall on my chest last year, mostly on the right side. I have pain under my arm, down the side, my neck down my back and it feels like a knife under my shoulder blade. I do yoga and I have gone to two different chiropractors but I haven't been able to alleviate the pain, especially when I sit and sew for long periods. Do you have some ideas that might help me. Thank you, Laura
Hi, I am a figure skater and as you may know we need to be very flexible. For me I am unable to do certain things because I feel like my groin area stops me? Any idea what this may be? Please respond asap! I have a competition coming up :)
Hi Tara, my hips are too tight even for some of these. In double pigeon my bottom knee is elevated and won't go to the floor. In the ones where the knees are crossed my feet won't splay to the side but keep drawing together like magnets behind me. Any ideas? Thanks, Julie
Hey Tara! I am a seventeen year old teen girl and I have a lot of fat around my lower back, thighs and hips my measurements are 34,29,41.. so you can imagine! I would be really greatful if you uploaded a video that can help me lose the extra inches.. in about 4 times a week.. :)
I have bad knees although I need flexibility, my hips tend to pop when raised above the belly button and when I do the downward dog I am very stiff. Do you have any solutions please?
I did these poses for the first time today and I have really really tight hips. I can't sit indian style at all, never could... When I do ankle to knee my knee doesn't go down at all, it actually fights back. I'm going to keep trying but I'm seriously tight here and no yoga teacher has ever helped me with this. BTW I'm a Ashtanga Certified Teacher n it's a bit disappointing not being able to sit indian style... and forget about Lotus. I've been trying and trying n all I have is pain in my hips
Wow!! I saw initially how thin the yoga instructor was but I didn't realize how thin until she started doing the poses. I wonder if she ever was a ballet dancer.
Letthyfood Bethymedicine There are people who are naturally skinny in body shape. She's probably solid muscle, and muscle is heavier than fat so... probably at a healthy weight.
Shiva Shah All probably true. Let me add, that my comments were, in no way, a criticism. It's better to be lean than to be like a marbled rib-eye. I'm confident the yoga instructor knows as much about good health as most of us.
probably muscle? Right, all that lean muscle must be hiding in her vagina. lol Thin is not strong, you can see if a person has lean muscle or not.. I'm sure that she has hardly any body fat% and some lean muscle but there isn't much of it. I'm just saying, from a mans perspective.. ladies.. please don't try to be this thin or think this is the ideal body.. please...
Tara, not only do I find the routines easy, I find your voice very soothing and very relaxing. You have a very calming way about you. Thanks for these videos.

I suffer from lower back pain from tight hip flexors cause by sitting for long periods of time. This routine helped a lot, thank you!
I do a lot of weightlifting and have been having very tight hips affecting my bottom squat position and I've been doing the last stretch you showed and now I can go A$$ to grass without being in pain!!! :)
I thought since she titled it 5 poses it wouldn't flow...but it did for sure! Thank you

Hi Tara! i have a terrible knee pain in my right leg from doing hip opening poses. I have very tight hips and still want to do hip openers. What shall i do with my knee problem?
These poses are excellent felf better after one session!
Thanks so much.
Saved my hips! Thanks.
Very nice, I have some compression on my sacrum and posterior Iliac, I'm guessing maybe a weak pelvic floor, any ideas?

i loved it.
Can't believe how much better my hips feel already. I'll be doing it again.
Hi Tara, I have tendonitis in both knees and it's really killing my drive to get up and do yoga in the morning when I have to constantly think about if I'm bending my knees too far or how to modify a pose, but I don't want to quit all together. Any suggestions?
Hi Tara, I have a condition called genu valgum. Ive been hearing that Yoga will help straighten my legs. Do you believe this to be true?
Hi! would like to get rid of my "love handles", do you have a yoga solution for that? Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, it means a lot to me.
love this! how long should I do each pose for? Until it feels good? (lol)
Tara,
I took a hard fall on my chest last year, mostly on the right side. I have pain under my arm, down the side, my neck down my back and it feels like a knife under my shoulder blade. I do yoga and I have gone to two different chiropractors but I haven't been able to alleviate the pain, especially when I sit and sew for long periods. Do you have some ideas that might help me. Thank you, Laura
I luv it, thanks!
Do you have to warm up before hand?thanks
Love it!
I find it difficult to sit in simple cross legged position for longer than 5 minutes. These stretches really helps.
How often do you recommend doing these stretches? Every day?
Hi, I am a figure skater and as you may know we need to be very flexible. For me I am unable to do certain things because I feel like my groin area stops me? Any idea what this may be? Please respond asap! I have a competition coming up :)
way to advanced for my tight hips,
I like it
We've passed on your question!
this was perfect for my tight hips! really relaxed the tension there
Do you have any suggestions for jasw and neck pain
I have a question: I'm a runner and sometimes I get shin splints, are there any yoga poses that would help this?
i have the same problem as her, :/ what diets would you recomend
Hi Tara, my hips are too tight even for some of these. In double pigeon my bottom knee is elevated and won't go to the floor. In the ones where the knees are crossed my feet won't splay to the side but keep drawing together like magnets behind me. Any ideas? Thanks, Julie
mine too!!
is this routine good for your knees?
thank you tara :)
does this help lose hip lower back & belly fat too?
Hey Tara!
I am a seventeen year old teen girl and I have a lot of fat around my lower back, thighs and hips
my measurements are 34,29,41.. so you can imagine!
I would be really greatful if you uploaded a video that can help me lose the extra inches.. in about 4 times a week.. :)
brilliant such a relief :-)
I have bad knees although I need flexibility, my hips tend to pop when raised above the belly button and when I do the downward dog I am very stiff. Do you have any solutions please?
I always thought i was fairly tight, but jesus. This showed me alot
cant do any of those moves its so hard for me ):
NOT FOR BEGINNERS DEFINATELY
@ShadowHostage you need to do leg extensions and stuff with some weights
I did these poses for the first time today and I have really really tight hips. I can't sit indian style at all, never could... When I do ankle to knee my knee doesn't go down at all, it actually fights back. I'm going to keep trying but I'm seriously tight here and no yoga teacher has ever helped me with this. BTW I'm a Ashtanga Certified Teacher n it's a bit disappointing not being able to sit indian style... and forget about Lotus. I've been trying and trying n all I have is pain in my hips
I always sweat a lot when Im doing yoga. Is that normal?
cant do it :(
@MsShyteen cardio. You cant burn fat in a specific area of the body. Any cardio exersise that keeps your heart rate up will burn the most fat.
I think I pushed myself a little to hard on this one. When I was done, I had trouble standing up.
Wow!! I saw initially how thin the yoga instructor was but I didn't realize how thin until she started doing the poses. I wonder if she ever was a ballet dancer.
I thought the same thing, she must be borderline unhealthy weight... skin and bones damn
Letthyfood Bethymedicine There are people who are naturally skinny in body shape. She's probably solid muscle, and muscle is heavier than fat so... probably at a healthy weight.
Shiva Shah All probably true. Let me add, that my comments were, in no way, a criticism. It's better to be lean than to be like a marbled rib-eye. I'm confident the yoga instructor knows as much about good health as most of us.
You can tell she's really experienced in that there's hardly a sound of stress/strain in her voice as she moves into all of those poses.
probably muscle? Right, all that lean muscle must be hiding in her vagina. lol Thin is not strong, you can see if a person has lean muscle or not.. I'm sure that she has hardly any body fat% and some lean muscle but there isn't much of it. I'm just saying, from a mans perspective.. ladies.. please don't try to be this thin or think this is the ideal body.. please...
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but when I do these, it just makes my hips and ti
@theowleyeyes Thighs hurt, not exactly releasing tension...
great routine. but I kind of feel pressured not because of the routine, but because of the pace of her voice. too fast, definitely not relaxing.
agreed, I find jen hilman to be the most relaxing yoga teacher on youtube
Lovely but. To to advance
i wish they didnt have the music in the background
Couldnt agree more!!!
lmao
Is* a lower curve
@MsShyteen Fix your diet. Eating properly will get you even better results than exercise (though, you should exercise as well)
you sound pretty stacked to me i dont see the problem.
Great hip op nerd. Just wish you had longer holds
*gets stuck into a ball*
😻😻🦵🦵🦶🦶
What the f**k! I tried doing this and my thigh felt like it was on fire!
Dem pancakes
Wow she at life!! Is to skinny. Skeleton. 😱🙉💀
love it!!
