Love these tutorials! They make me understand what I'm working on in a pose and how to practice to be more graceful. Please do more tutorials like this, warrior I, stack your hip in downdog, chair pose, etc ❤️
thank you for this video. I hope you can help me with my question here. I really want to get better at the balancing poses but I am overweight and find it difficult to stay in the pose long, as with other balancing poses. should I be using a chair to help balance or are there other exercises to help me strengthen the muscles necessary to do this well?
Can you do more tutorials on the basic poses and explain where you are supposed to feel the stretch or where it is helping to strengthen? I love this. I have been to many different studios and hardly any try to correct students or go into what the poses should be like. Thanks for this!
I agree it does get hectic in-studio classes when you aren't sure of how to do the pose exactly because the teachers are catering to so many different levels of students in each class. This is why I love online yoga too! :)
Yoga with Kassandra - basic poses that you might see in your flows, I guess. Like Triangle pose and side angle. Also where am I supposed to feel something for dragon and pigeon/sleeping swan? Thank you for listening 💙🧘♀️💙
Yelena Crawford Yoga - exactly, for example, triangle pose. It is because of Kassandra saying that you don’t stick your butt out that I know that. In my class that I took, I saw many different “ways” of doing the pose. Most had their butt sticking out 😉💙🧘♀️💙
This was great, I don't think anyone has told me about actively pushing the standing leg inwards which absolutely straightens my hips and yes I felt the burn!! Can't wait to see more poses broken down.
Thank you so much for the great instructions on the tree pose. I struggle with tree pose. I grunge when the teacher calls for this pose. You are awesome!!
I am so happy for this video Kassandra. I was disappointed about my tree pose and you have just made me happy, because i tried it the way you describe and... guess what... I did it. Thank you very much! You are the best yoga teacher in TH-cam, and i have watched many videos of many teachers. Thank you!
Your explanations are absolutely clear and complete, I can understand now exactly how it has to be done. Thank you so much for spending time in doing this. Namaste 🙏 💗
I am new to yoga and your videos came highly recommended by a friend of mine. Thank you for how well you explain and demonstrate the positions. I didn’t consider yoga because I found it too intimidating but after watching a few videos I no longer do. What I thought was impossible is possible thanks to you.
This was great and I see you linked several others. I’ll have to make my way through the list. I’ve been trying yoga the past couple of months. I’m on day 28 of the morning yoga series and really enjoying that.
I did the squeeze and whoah!!! Definitely a different feel..lol. I was able to hold it longer, but my thighs and glutes were burning... Thank you for showing us the right way 🙏
Thank you so much for this, it is exactly what I needed. I love Tree pose, and I was quite sure I was doing it wrong because it was so easy and relaxing 😂 (like you say at the end, "just hanging out")
What I like to do is practice it laying down and I love bound angle pose! I find this helps keeps my hips forward. Thanks for the muscle engagement tips, I have poor balance on my right leg because of nerve damage after cuada equina but my left leg is much better. When I engage the muscles like you've taught, my right leg will improve. Thank you very much Kassandra 🧘♀️💜🧘♀️💜
Thanks so much for this helpful video! Would love a video on downward dog as I often wonder about the alignment of my shoulders and whether or not my arms are too far forward. Looking at sphinx pose and or cobra and how to avoid pressure in the lower back would be great too 👍👍
I have been doing yoga for years and have never been able to keep my leg up on my thigh. So I added it to my vision board as a goal for 2025, and thought it would take me all year to accomplish. Then i just watched this video and did it instantly. Arms up, eyes closed! 😂 THANK YOU!
Hi Kassandra. Thanks for this and all your great vids. Just wondering why tree pose doesn't appear much in your regular yoga vids? Is it because I tend to do the 10-20 min ones? Love a bit of tree pose!
Thanks for this tutorial on tree pose. I am 61 and just started doing yoga for arthritis. I did not know I could not balance on one leg anymore. Any more tips. My foot that I stand on jus wants to wobble. Thanks
I dont know how I should place my foot alignment on the leg that I stand on. Should my foot be aligned with side of mat of slightly toe out? I feel pulling on my knee on he leg instand on.
Is tree pose possible for someone who is bowlegged? When I draw an imaginary line from the center of my thigh to the center of my ankle, it goes on the inside of my knee. So my center of gravity is on the inside of my knee. Result is my body weight pushes my knee out. That seems the same to me as you putting your foot on your knee. I always lose balance to the outside. My current thinking is that tree pose is dangerous to my knees and should be avoided.
Katerina Deas, I agree - it was a game changer when I did it with bare legs. That helped me to build confidence and strength in the pose and I now find I can do it in yoga pants. Though not the really slippery lycra fabrics!
my problem isn't the balance per se, it's getting my leg up above the knee and having it stay there. it slides down no matter what, the highest it will go is the knee joint.
My foot always slips down and I cant even align my thighs to look like it leans downwards :( I am so sad. Is it possible my thighs are.. too short for this pose? Cant fold my lower leg unless my thigh is parallel to the floor and then the slip happens.
You should show it first with out a talk .Then show it with a talk.It's confusing because your execution with a talk not continues so the watcher can't recognize which one is right or wrong.

Thank you mam 🙏🙏
can you please do a tutorial for eagle pose? thank you
Hi Kassandra. Thanks for this and all your great vids. Just wondering why tree pose doesn't appear much in your regular yoga vids? Is it because I tend to do the 10-20 min ones? Love a bit of tree pose!
Hi Kassandra, I can balance but I want some assistance with being able to hold my foot on my thigh instead of calves. And advice for stretches?
Thanks for this tutorial on tree pose. I am 61 and just started doing yoga for arthritis. I did not know I could not balance on one leg anymore. Any more tips. My foot that I stand on jus wants to wobble. Thanks
I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS FREE
Also show headstand for beginners
Good morning
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
That's true. Very deep!
Nice one 😁
Heyyy kassandra... I tried the way you taught but my leg keep slipping..... Pls advice
I dont know how I should place my foot alignment on the leg that I stand on. Should my foot be aligned with side of mat of slightly toe out? I feel pulling on my knee on he leg instand on.
How long is to long for this pose in a yoga class?
So sweet
Thank you for this tutorial! Helps to know I’m doing the pose correctly. Hope you will do more of these tutorials!

Thanks Kassandra! My foot never slips on skin but it does when I wear yoga pants.... practice makes perfect? Or is there a trick?
Sometimes it's inevitable but usually the more you push your thigh against the foot and foot pushes back, the easier it is to keep it there!
Katerina Deas, I agree - it was a game changer when I did it with bare legs. That helped me to build confidence and strength in the pose and I now find I can do it in yoga pants. Though not the really slippery lycra fabrics!
Yayy
My yoga pants make my feet slip down no matter....without them I'm good
my problem isn't the balance per se, it's getting my leg up above the knee and having it stay there. it slides down no matter what, the highest it will go is the knee joint.
My foot always slips down and I cant even align my thighs to look like it leans downwards :( I am so sad.
Is it possible my thighs are.. too short for this pose? Cant fold my lower leg unless my thigh is parallel to the floor and then the slip happens.
Ah yes, wii fit taught me this throughout quarantine
You should show it first with out a talk .Then show it with a talk.It's confusing because your execution with a talk not continues so the watcher can't recognize which one is right or wrong.
Thankyou!! soooo helpful!
Super helpful! Thank you!
