Really interesting. I found the explanation for the low lunge most useful because sometimes I have doubts regarding either sinking into the pose, pulling my tailbone down or even square the hips... what I got from your explanation is that it depends on the kind of practice you're having - so, either form is ok but must be appropriate to the practice of the day (sinking for Yin Vs activating/squaring hips/tailbone down for a more Yang practice)? Thanks for this video :)
Thank you for this great video Kassandra!! You are so good at explaining things in a simple way and I also love that you offer modifications! Keep doing what you are doing.. you are making a difference in people’s lives!
This was so Helpful! I was in a really bad car accident in October so I'm healed enough now that I can now workout some. I'm so thankful that you gave alternative ways.💙
Kassandra thank you for your classes. I have been following your 30 day challenge for two weeks and they have been a great way to reintroduce yoga into my exercise regime. With lower back , knee, shoulder and neck pain, I gave up on yoga 2 years ago and focused on strength training, (but still have the lower back pain and neck issues). However, during quarantine, I stubbled across you videos and I'm feeling positive results from them. My flexibility needs a lot of work and this video explains the exercises with such clarity, I feel as if I will now achieve the flexibility I desire. Thanks
Excellent advice and very well explained as always. Having hip tendinitis and I’m seeing a physiotherapist but your exercises have really loosened up my hip. Thank you so much Kassandra 😍
Happy to have found your channel Kassandra. I’m only day 2 but am starting each day with your 30 day challenge and then adding the top 5 hip openers. Thanks again! 😊🙏🏻
I am like super super weak and super stiff in my hips. I can't even do the beginner level stuff you say in this video. But this has been the first day (January 4th) I tried it. I will work on it everyday morning and evening for 5-10 min and let's see where we at in December. I will come back to this video for sure at the end of this year. Cheers!
My thought is MINIMUM 30 seconds in order to outsmart the 'stretch reflex' which can negate any muscle lengthening benefit, rather firing it up and further tightening it. In my practice I always suggest 40 or 45 seconds but no less than 30.
You are so beautiful and an absolute sweetheart! For a year now I have done on of your yin yoga videos almost every night before bed, alternating my favorite ones. I love that you have so many! I have noticed a big difference in my hip and psoas mobility and even the overall shape of my lower body is changing and I am so happy. So glad I found your channel. Namaste!
Thank you. I will now build these hip openers into my regular practice. It will help with sitting cross legged, which I find painful and help me to progress through my yoga. Emma, Leeds, UK
Thank you 💗 what a great video I love the way you are talking about the integrity of the pelvis and the hips & giving positions which work together to strengthen and open all around the joint - I will try this sequence as a hip practice. 🙏
I love all of those asanas. My hips tend to be tighter in the front, so I practice a lot of Lizard and low lunge asanas. I also teach Yoga, but I speak English as a second language so I really appreciate your verbal cues🤸♀️
Thank you so much I really needed this, I’m a bigger but I’ve being practicing yoga for over a year, the only thing is that sometimes I quit for a week or so because of school but l love yoga and how it makes me feel so free and so in control of my body 🙏🏼
My question is what to do afterward, I have this awkward feeling when walking, laying in bed or even just standing. Should I do it daily or twice a week or...? I'm rather new to stretching so I don't know if there is a recovery time or not.
Sounds like basic hip openers to me. Though far from my favourite since I started folding forward in double pigeon or fire log pose I'm now sometimes able to get into lotus without using my hands, just a personal anecdote I always thought it was never going to happen...
-good stuff but your sanskrit prn's are not correct...knee extended over the ankle will create knee issues in the long run so that is a definite NO NO.. the stress for asana is A-sana not a-SAN-a ; i would love to coach you, if you are interested :)

Yes exactly! It will also vary based on who you're studying with and in what style :)
Thanks for this practice. Super helpful explanations and tips. Loved it!
Hello Kassandra, does this help in giving hips rounder shape too?

I especially love pose #5 with the variations. Thanks, Kassandra!
Gonna try them all, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for showing the modifications! I’ve been having issues with my knee and can actually perform these.
I love how you mention keeping joints safe

Wow this was fabulously. My hips are so inflexible, I believe these will benefit me. Thank you

PIGEON is my FAV!! Love your tips!
Well explained 🧘♀️👌👌
thank you for the detailed explanation of each pose. for how long should each pose be held?

Nicely explained
Really like this hi opening practice ❤️
I thought this was some great advice. Thanks

Thanks
Great share by u
I loved that. So clear, so simple and so effective!! Thank you!!
Thanks for this. Just what I needed. I have done some of these before but not the pigeon pose. I really like this one!
Thank you. I will now build these hip openers into my regular practice. It will help with sitting cross legged, which I find painful and help me to progress through my yoga. Emma, Leeds, UK
Thank you 💗 what a great video
I love the way you are talking about the integrity of the pelvis and the hips & giving positions which work together to strengthen and open all around the joint - I will try this sequence as a hip practice. 🙏
Amazing I loved this. Thanks for explaining where the heel goes in pigeon pose 😂❤
These are great tips! Do you have other videos like this one that give lessons on proper alignment for other poses? Thanks!
You are a great teacher! I'm glad I found your channel!
Very useful hip opening exercises. Thanks.
Thank you. I will watch again until I can remember all 5 and add them to my morning routine.
I love all of those asanas. My hips tend to be tighter in the front, so I practice a lot of Lizard and low lunge asanas. I also teach Yoga, but I speak English as a second language so I really appreciate your verbal cues🤸♀️
Kassandra, thank you for tons of useful info! i'm going to do these poses on the regular basis :) Hopefully, i'll see the results soon
Beautiful 👌
You are simply adorable! Your love and compassion for others is a beautiful thing, you truly care. Thank you
This is a superb video. Thank you.
Kassandra, excellent video on hips!
Thank you so much I really needed this, I’m a bigger but I’ve being practicing yoga for over a year, the only thing is that sometimes I quit for a week or so because of school but l love yoga and how it makes me feel so free and so in control of my body 🙏🏼
Awesome video. It burned my glutes and all my hip muscles.
Thanks Kassandra, great video!
This is great, thanks!
good 1
At last, I know what to do with my front leg in a pigeon pose :D Thanks!
Yay!! haha
same here! :)
Any chance of some feet, ankle and wrist related short stretching vids? Always helpful and not often specifically addressed
Thanks
My question is what to do afterward, I have this awkward feeling when walking, laying in bed or even just standing. Should I do it daily or twice a week or...? I'm rather new to stretching so I don't know if there is a recovery time or not.
Thanks👌⛵️⚓️😍🙏🕉

How long should a pose be held for?
It is wrong to put the knees on the floor on the butterfly pose??I never see yogis doing it.
-good stuff but your sanskrit prn's are not correct...knee extended over the ankle will create knee issues in the long run so that is a definite NO NO..
the stress for asana is A-sana not a-SAN-a ; i would love to coach you, if you are interested :)
The poses are great - but could you slow down a bit?
Great video. Beautiful legs and hips. I am so envy…
How tall are you?
5'7"
What?? Why wouldn't you do the other side?? I chose this video because I only had 15 minutes?? Now I have to go and I only did one side??? Weird!!
omm
PSA: Physical therapists recommend avoiding pigeon pose if you have osteoporosis of the hip.

More than doing you are only talking more
Amazing instruction! Thank you!
So helpful. Thank you!
I love it, thank you!!
I absolutely loved the explanations and the variations of each pose! Thank you so much!❤
Great session, thank you!
