Dragged the husband to do this with me and keeps saying, "I'm trying Cassie, I'm trying." 😂😂😂
Good idea, I'll make my boyfriend do this with me today 🙌😂
Me and my future Soulmate are doing this together 😂😇🥰
My husband said “nah I’m bot doing it I’m just gonna do boy’s exercises” then he started doing push ups 😂
This is what I say to myself to make me believe I’m actually trying, it helps keep me motivated and to keep up with her lol 😂
What a lovely date idea. I'm forcing my bf to do this with me later XD
Idk why but when Cassey says "don't hold back, let go" I get somehow... emotional? I just feel like in life we should perhaps "let go" more, let things be as they are and not try to force things but also accept changes. This video really helps me to let go of stress and worries.
Same! I've heard that a lot of emotional trauma gets stored in your hips - if you think about it, the mind-body relationship in that moment is one of release, so a release of emotions is very normal. And our hip flexers are so important! They carry so much tension every day without us even realizing it!
I came to the comments to see who else felt it 😂
LOL same. I thought, man I can’t be the only one 🥲
I've done this video more times than I could possibly count. It's the best stretching video I've ever found and I always come back to it.
Stop whatever you're doing in quarantine and do yourself a favour, doing this every signle day. You're welcome.
Ash M. Hennig doing it atm! thanks to her, i just started to appreciate working out :’)) despite the soreness, i still felt great. didn’t knew something like this puts me on ease
agreed
The hip opening exercises feep amazing after a jog !
I was thinking the same thing, I’m going to incorporate w/my daily routine! I love Cassey!
Hey Ash, do you know what song is this ?
I remember doing this stretch every morning 1,5 years ago when I was really depressed, stressed out and I just couldn't find any happiness in my days. I started everyday with crying but it also felt so relaxing, I could just get rid a huge amount of tension and stress with this stretching video. It really helped me get through those though times. And now I have some things to get through by myself again and this stretching routine still saves my days and my mental health. Cassey, Thank you so much!!
Nikoletta Mucsányi yes!!! Me too
I feel the same but I'm not depressed anymore and I truly found myself!
we carry emotion and memory in the body not just the brain - this might have helped to release it!
The same reason I’m looking for this kind of videos, I feel awful. I hope I feel better.....
@@christinearbuckle2079 Within time I hope you feel better, Good luck!
Oh my gosh Cassey! How did you know? I was literally thinking last night, "I need to improve my flexibility," and then I wake up and you've uploaded this video!
Irena Li Magic 😂
Irena Li I was doing her "before bed stretching routine" when she uploaded this
Irena Li I
My legs and hips are sore from working out yesterday, this felt SO GOOD 💙
btw I've been following you since FOREVER and I love my Popflex clothes! I'm even wearing them in some of my upcoming videos!!
Haha I just did one of your morning yoga routines before this video, I loved it! I always feel refreshed after working with you in the morning!❤
We love supportive queens ❤
Same she is amazing
Ya same... 😊
This is my kiddos (7 and 8) favorite stretch video. They claim you are a "magical unicorn" because of your room and how well you stretch 🤣
They're not wrong😂🦄
Awwwwwwwww❤️❤️
ALL 3 SONGS!!!!
1) Distant Call by Ten Towers
2) Won’t you Save me by Loving Caliber
3) In my Eyes by Sebastian Forslund ft. Dinah Smith
Elise Frits not all heroes wear capes
Thank you!! I’ve been trying to find out that 3rd song foreverrr!! 🙏
Came to the comments section just for this
thank you so much i love the music of all her videos but this playlist is just.... wow
On Spotify, it is Ten Towers and Dinah Smith for In My Eyes.
today i found out that i have flexible hip flexors. because i have no space in that like. sitting position. and it doesn't hurt at all. wow huh never knew that
JellyfishGroupStan Omg, me too! I mean, it's not challenging at all...
nah man it hurts as hell :c
SAMEE!! I never understood why my friends had such a hard time doing that and I don’t. I literally sit like that all the time!! WOAHH
it's like my favourite way to sit since i was a little kid. love to buddha-out after a long day at work.
Me too!
"I hope you feel more calm" girl I just killed my entire body!
My body screams for repentance after these
Yeah, but don't y'all feel awesome? Because I sure do!!
I laughed in pain when she said that, gonna do it again anyways 😂
This is still one of my absolute favorite stretch videos💕 the stretches and the soundtrack and the colors🌈😌🤩
i agree!! i feel like i’m in a spa doing this one 💗
oh my god..she is like guide very well bcz I'm do anything it's going like pain but she talk very enjoyable with happines so I just forget the pain and I also enjoyed the exercise
I just thank to you Cassey to fitness me
thanks for making me love working out
Simran Bhattacharya Awwww
you are very welcome!
Was having a really bad day , I started out from a place of anger and I ended my routine with this and I DO feel a LOT more calmer than I was. 5 years later this video and like a lot of your older videos still has that touch of nostalgic feeling of magic and familiar comfort. Also I'm on my postpartum journey its a one of lot of ups and downs (part of why I'm angry and all :) ) but your videos is something I run to to feel better. THANK YOU
this routine always makes me feel at peace 💕 but just wanted to wish you some good vibes Mama - you have a lot going on so don’t be too hard on yourself!! well done for making some time for yourself. you got this ⭐️
Who else was glad there was no intense workout today and just stretches haha april calendar peeps!
This was such a nice way to start a Monday morning - I got up dreading jumping straight into intense cardio and general Monday-ness, but this made me feel so good! Thank you!
Yes! Have a great week!!
blogilates Best workout ever thx ..💟
Such a sweet, encouraging instructor. The time flew by!
Hi, so I know this is probably weird. But I did this for the first time, and I felt my body relax like it never has before and I legit started tearing up. I’m learning how to love on my body, and not use it as a punching bag for my stress and anxiety. Thank you so much for this video and what you are doing. I know I’m not the only one who’s life you are changing as well!
I’ve been on TH-cam for years and this is my first comment. I have to say that your videos have been a blessing during this dark time for us. Like many, I decided to take advantage of free time and workout. Your workouts are so fun and your commentary makes me forget all about the pain I’m in 😂 thank you and keep them coming!
Am I the only one with abnormally flexible hip flexors? When I push my elbow into my leg my knee can hit the floor without it hurting at all .-.
Ahh... Youth. 😊
Me to
No, I am the same way. The reason in my case isn't youth, like Tracy Allen suggested (I am 42,) but the fact that the outer parts of my large hip bones are missing (it's a birth defect.) Not sure if you ever had the hip area X-rayed - I had always thought I was simply really flexible and therefore, cool, until I found out the reason, which actually causes issues later in life. :/
Same!!
Me too 🤗
damn this comment section is so cute and positive
this felt so good thank you
I just wanted to say thank you, because time and time again I find myself watching girls telling me that this will work, I’ll get my splits, and be healthy. Even though they are using harmful pills and bad diets. This is my second day doing this, and I can already feel and see the difference! You seem like a genuine person and this video helps me de-stress. Not only am I getting flexible, watching your other relaxation videos has made me start to loose the stress fat. :) thank you so much!!❤️❤️❤️
I'm seriously the most inflexible person alive. This was super needed after leg day!
Same, I can barely get my leg bigger then a 90° degree angle when laying on my back lmao
:)) No you re not!
who is doing this poorly and in pain but still doing it anyway
So good Lmao I had nothing to say
This girl 😂
LOL me
Meh
Not it
Whose still doing this in 2019?!?😊 love you Cassey! I am SO thankful for you and this video🤗💗💗💗
Me! Great stretch 🌟
Me too! I thought I'd found all the stretch videos Cassey has done and used them all dozens of times but came across this one when looking for a post-spin stretch today and loved it! Even used a scented candle and all! Thanks, Cassey :)
I am!!! its my favorite daily stretch video of hers by far and I do it every night as apart of my routine!!
I am!! 💖😁
Girl I’m still doing this in 2020 lol
this was so relaxing when it was over I was like "What it's over?" The two sides of this channel though, one, the ultimate workout that makes you want to finish quickly then there's this relaxing stretching that goes by quickly. Thank you by the way
I’ve just finished an ultimate workout and now I can’t lift my arms haha 😂
I actually turned my fairy lights on, lit my favorite candle at the moment and totally dived into the peace and breathing mode... This was what I totally needed right now. 💕
It's so therapeutic to hear Cassey say "good stuff" ♥
3/12/21
Absolutely splendid 👌
I'm doing this for 5 days straight now and my flexibility has improved soooo much. Thank you for this wonderful, relaxing video :)
Lots of leg and hip stretches! Would love more of these style maybe focusing on the back and shoulders
Her ten minute stretching for flexibility videos from about five years ago has a lot of back and shoulder stretches in it. I do it all the time :)
Cheers!! I do a lot of old exercises from her as well but since there are so many, it's impossible to be familiar with them all
Totally can use this right now, since I fell back to a crappy mood again... thank you Cass!
♡♡ Thank you, Happytaeng! Trying my best to keep my head up :-) !
never realized how tense I was when stretching until you said “let go.” no wonder I’ve had difficulty with hip flexibility for so long 😂
ah that last stretch was really nice but difficult. I need to work on my stretching more
Claire Sophia me too I also keep telling myself I need to go on a diet but never do
That's my easiest stretch I used to do ballet when I was little so I'm still really flexible
I love how Cassey is always about emotional well being and progress > perfection. She says to be grateful for where we are today and that is powerful. I love her encouraging content. This and her morning stretch video are becoming staples in my daily routine. Thanks Cassey!
4:30 Not sure if I'm doing this move right? There honestly isn't much space i between my knee and foot at all.
I studied how she's sitting, and I'm pretty sure I'm doing it accurately. Am I just really flexible lol?
Melanie Anne Ahern yea
the same thing , I am pretty sure I am not too flexible , but somehow this move was so easy
Same here, it feels like sitting pretzel-legged. I have fairly flexible hip flexors, but still. I usually do butterfly instead if there's ever a stretch for hip flexors that I just don't feel.
Same here
SAME :O
You are literally the ONLY person that I've seen so far that actually does FUN, EASY-TO-FOLLOW stretching routines. Please do more stretching videos!!!
I love that cassey starts to put stretching video on wednesdays so we can have a proper cool down after intense cardio!! Thanks cassey 😻
That yoga mat though!!! I need that!!! Omg so beautiful
me too! i hope i can get a yoga mat for 2017 Christmas. At home there is a carpet so its okay but at school its a hard floor it kills. i usually have to put a towel or blanket down. I need a proper one. Ive been doing pilates so long!
Doing this with the November 2020 calendar ♡ what a great way to "cut" the week. So relaxing, the music was perfect. Thank you Cassie
👌🌹
This stretch video has taught me to love the feeling of stretching and is something I have grown to look forward to thank you
Wow that last move was hard, but I feel so so good now! 😁
this is awesome. the only stretch i do is to reach a bag of potato chips that's too far 😂😂
inspireDIY amen man 😂😂
inspireDIY omg 😂😂
inspireDIY you just got a new subscriber
Relatable
the Couch Potato 🙂😅😂🤣
I always feel so relaxed and rejuvenated after doing this stretch routine. Thank you Cassey, this is what we need during these stressful unpredictable times.
Still after years I keep finding myself coming back to your videos!
It’s so much fun- your personality and empathetic tips/ support are really doing it for me!
Thaaank you so much for all this work Cassie! Hope you’re doing fine!!💪🏻🌱💕
This is so far the only stretching that works on my back pain. Thanks so much, Cassie.
This video is like a fairytale dream come true!
Cassey, I just wanted to say I've been doing these stretches for months and I love this entire routine! I would absolutely love an updated video that stretches similar muscles, as I'm working on flexibility in my lower body.
In any event, just wanted to say how much I love this video even though it's so old.
💕
I been doing it for 2 weeks a can really see a change in my flexibility!!!! THANK YOU
Still my favorite stretch of all time! 💕
Why did this stretch make me emotional. I started to cry for some reason. 😢
I started crying at the first ones because I couldn't do them
lol xoxo
Lyndee Peretiatko I did too! It freaked me out a little. Never happened before. I think it was good though.
You probably cried because of how painful it was
Same
Oml same
From these videos, I've learnt that my hip flexers are very flexible but the hamstrings are definitely not... :D these are great, thank you so much!
This is probably my favourite stretch routine🖤
Been following this routine for a while not and I'm slowly but surely improving! Thank you!
Yes this feels good the tightness from exercise in my thighs and glutes can be felt with each stretch soooo good
Won't You Save Me- by Loving Caliber. For all you looking for the songs I managed to find one LOL been doing this stretch for a while now I feel great !
omg thank u
Thank you! I thought it was a Bon Iver song lol
did you find the other one????
I need the last song title! It's so good!
I found it!!!! Its called In my Eyes by Sebastian Forslund!!
This is such a feel good video! 😭💞 The positivity is just flowing!
So I’ve found out this weird thing, that my left leg is more flexible then my right leg. I don’t know how this happened. 😂
is your left leg your dominant one? like for my right leg its my dominant one and i feel that its more flexible then the left one.
Could be daily habits like sitting/sleeping positions maybe? 🤔
Most people have one side that is tighter than the other
same with me , like when I do hip flexors stretches the right one hurt while the left feels the stretch only
Same 😂
Our whole family just did this before putting the littles to sleep. My two year old son thought it was hilarious seeing me in those positions but my ballerina 6yr old really enjoyed it and liked the challenge. Daddy struggled because he has arthritis in the hips. We'd love an upper body bedtime stretch to include him. X Thank you Cassey.
GUYS I FOUND THE LAST SONG ITS- In My Eyes - Sebastian Forslund feat. Dinah Smith
THANKSS AMY DUDE
thank you sooooooo much!!!! been looking for the title and driving me nuts for not knowing but good thing i scrolled down and found your comment! thank you thank you!!!
YOU THA REAL MVP!!!!!!!! T-T I've been searching for this song since I watched the video!!! omg THANK YOU!!!
Amy Yang Thank you!
Thanks!!!!!
I have to say!!! I've been doing this video about 5 days a week for maybe three weeks, and it has chaaaaanged my life. I've always struggled a lot with flexibility, and stretching has always been stressful for me bc I would never see the results I wanted. Doing this video finally took my mind off of judging where I'm at and I was able to just enjoy how it felt to stretch and breathe. It brings me joy in the morning, or as a mid day pick me up, or as the last thing I do before bed. When I did it yesterday, I was super tight, but when I did it just now, I was blown away by my progress. I've never been this flexible and I've danced my entire life. This video is IT, y'all!! Thank you Cassey so much for your incredibly positive and encouraging spirit. All of your videos are wonderful and I'm so grateful for this free content.
I love the songs playing in background 😙
I'm really going to need this. I've been so stressed lately and I have a placement test today. 😭
Good luck on the test!!
Amanda :D thanks 😞
Amanda :D yay I actually did well! way better than I expected! 😄
am i the only one that had no space between my ankle and knee? wow i never knew i was that flexible😂💗
Auntie Olga same I had no idea I was that flexible I thought I was doing it wrong😂
Sydney Holt so does that mean it's possible for me to have a thigh gap?
I thought I was doing something wrong for weeks until I realized I must just be flexible in my hip flexors lol.
YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!
Indeed xD I was like GG
I love the feeling of doing this stretches and finding peace. The song is so calming too 😍 I absolutely loving your videos! SO MUCH LOVE. ❤ Thank you Cassey.
I'm doing this after my pilates workout. It brings me peace. I've done it a few times now and I'm noticing that my hips get more flexible and that my legs can reach back further each time that I do this. So it's a really good stretch! Love it!
I LOVE YOU CASSEY! YOU'RE SO INSPIRING! 😘💕💖
I do this video every morning :) sometimes my husband joins me! I love these yoga based videos!💕🌈
THIS is an oldie but a goodie!
Your short workout videos are my go to when I need to stretch or wake myself up! I enjoyed this video , thank you !❤️
wow this really didnt feel like ten minuts! Although I was doing it very poorly, it felt very relaxing especially because of the breathing technique
Yes! Those hip stretches are just what I needed. I ride and train horses and flexibility is a huge part of that. loved this!
nothing boosts me more than hanging out with Cassey, whatever video of hers I do I leave feeling so much better than before! blogilates
4th December 2020 🚰 catching up on 2 missed calendar days 🧘♀️
It's 2019 and this is still one of my favorite stretching exercises ever.
I just love how U have that sweet calming voice to make everything else so relaxing and comfortable and nice. This helped. Thank u :)
6 MARCH 2022 calendar vid 1 of 2 🦄 ahhh LOVE this routine!! music is so nice & relaxing - and the stretches are great . L&W
Thanks for being so calming and radiant and really setting the mood! You make it look so easy and so casual about it all. I love coming back to your workouts♥
This is definitely my favorite stretch routine! I love the music and it puts a nice cap on my workout. I've just recently found Cassie and she's quickly become a staple in my daily routine ♡
Making eye contact with my dog as I stretched made things a heck of a lot nicer!
Done- stretches really felt good! When I do down dog I think of how my dogs do this overtime they wake up in the morning to get my form down good!
It is scientifically proven that when you look at dog's your happier. That's why I love my dog!
Every time my dogs do that I HAVE TO say "and the downward dog" my husband cracks up 😂
We need more yoga Cassey 🤍 I love the feeling after a good yoga session it’s literally like a cup of coffee without the jitters 🌺
This is my new favorite stretching routine! Thank you so much!
Cassey can you do intense chest workouts please.
yeeeeees
Try Whitney Simmons' channel!
Swetha Hari YEeessss please cassie
Paige Frances yes she's amazing !!
YES! please!!!😀
I’ve done a few of your stretches Cassey, and this stretch routine is superb. Such an effective stretch out in a short space of time. Thank you very much for all you do, and many congratulations on the recent release of your range at Target!!!! 👏🏾 🤗
Struggling but I had fun. These stretches were all really relaxing. I was surprised I could actually lie down on the last stretch! That was actually my fave part of this video. Thanks so much for the great video
I love the cobra/downdog part sooo much... It deeply relaxes me every time
Day 2 of doing these exercises:
Im not flexible like at all so it was hard to do most of them but i will continue it and see how far i will go :3 .
Day 3 i was very sad necause my budgie died and felt really exhausted so i let myself off day
Day 4-6
I feel better still mssing her but i did exerxising yoga
deep breathing, happy thoughts, and a snuggly cat purring next to me. God is good. 💕🙌
I’ve been doing this in the morning before I meditate to wake up and get in the right state of mind. I love it.
This video and the one with the name(stretches to do after a successful day) I do one of them everyday after my workout.🤩..those two are the best stretches videos in the whole TH-cam a can't thank you enough😍😍...we need more of them ❤❤
blogilates - Total Body Stretch
7 days challenge
Day 1 (Sat. Apr. 11)
Time completed: 23:55
Notes: I haven’t exercised or stretched for a long while. Only from 6:40 to the end was okay, but still a bit uncomfortable.
Day 2 (Sun. Apr. 12)
Time completed: 00:11 (actually midnight on Apr. 13 but let’s pretend it was the on the 12th)
Notes: Almost the same as Day 1 but I could stretch a bit further, and do the hip flexor sitting thing for both sides instead of just the right.
Day 3 (Mon. Apr. 13)
Time completed: 17:52
i love the backround music its so relaxing :)
This has really helped me a lot with my hip flexibility. It's rare that u find a video like this that will actually make a change
I love your videos! They make me look forward to my workout and the stretching videos have made me so much more flexible!!
Everytime I do this I find my inner peace to calm my anger and to keep my happiness.Thank you Cassey for helping me get through the youngest stage of my life☺️❤️
The wonderful instructor: ”I hope you feel more calm, I hope you feel open again”
Me: *has cried twice and literally feels like dying
Probably a sign I should stretch more... with this video :D
I do this every evening and i love it ! It's just so calming and relaxing...
Love that in the second week of the beginners calendar there is a stretching video after two more intense cardio videos! Makes me cool down properly and gets me more flexible for future workouts! LOVE YOU CASSEY!! You're wedding looked like a dream!
