This was excellent in every single way! I do other types of yoga during the day, but at night before bed, I do an hour of meditation, qi gong, and yin/restorative yoga to relax and ground me as I deal with the hardest thing I've ever dealt with (my husband dying of cancer). Your instruction, pacing, props were all perfection. I've done yin/restorative for 10 years, but never did supported pigeon as you did (usually just the torso gets supported, not the front leg)--it was a whole different experience! I've been loyal to yoga classes at my gym for 10 years, but I have to say that instructors on TH-cam, especially you, seem more yogic---too many instructors at the gym just offer gymnastics on a yoga mat! It's all about making the room hot (105 degrees!), barking out orders to go fast, or even in yin classes, contort the body into positions that can be wrong or impossible for most of us. One instructor said that if someone can't do a pose, it's feat that's holding them back (??? Not genetics? Age? Injuries? ) Most of my classmates just do yoga to burn calories and "work Out" rather than working in. A few do yin/restorative, but it bores most. Not being able to go to the gym for a couple of months has actually deepened my practice. I'll be back for your restorative classes and will also try others. Thanks so much.
First of all, I send my heart out to you on the transition of your husband🤍🤍🤍 Genuinely praying for peace and comfort during this time✨ Secondly, 😲🤦🏾♀️ @ “fear holding them back”... I’m sorry but that is definitely not what we learned in Yoga Teacher Training. Come on. Seriously? 😅 Every single body is different. That was seriously unwise on that instructors part. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ But all in all, I’m so glad you enjoyed my restorative video! I’ll definitely be adding many more very soon. I’m painting my yoga/filming room to make it feel like more of ‘my safe space’ . I should be done by this Saturday! Thanks sooo so much for sharing that with me and for your support 🤍 It really meant a lot to me for you to take the time to write that!
@@AriannaElizabeth just discovered you in my YT feed and watched 5h3 video to see if I could connect with you. This looks soooooo soothing, and reading the comment above from the lady who list her partner, I can truly agree with what she said about your teaching style. I can't wait to have a look through your library and try out some of your videos. Love the restorative pigeon pose here!!! I struggle on my right side but have no problems in my left! You have just got yourself a new subbie! Namaste... 🙏🏾🧘🏿❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🧘🏿🙏🏾
my first class with Arianna, thankyou for a very much needed rest and relaxation, i'm now going to scout through all your other content as I love your vibe. Sending metta, Alex, Shropshire, UK
That was quite different. I didn't want to go to sleep. I love that you have videos on yoga for feet and other areas not so touched by other yoga platforms. Thanks sis I was rejuvenated while I rested.
Finally a restorative yoga video which feels good in this simple and genuine atmosphere. Thanks a lot for it. I would love to see other restorative yoga videos from you. 😊💙💚💜
Thank you for this class. I've been feeling the need for restorative yoga, especially with all the inflamed energy surrounding us lately. This class helped me slow down, stretch out, and quiet the internal hubbub.
Hope you find time to make more longer restorative yoga videos! I love this video I think I have done it like 10 times in the last few weeks. Just ordered my hugger mugger bolster today! Can’t wait to do this video without stacking all these pillows lol
I loved your class! I'm a dancer and my body gets tight....I loved your class and I will subscribe to your channel. Thank you so much! Lisa-Beth Harris
I woke this morning thinking, "I really need to find some good hip opening stretches." I couldn't find anything that fit what I wanted then, as usual, when I gave up the struggle, this popped up. It was excellent, just what I needed. And the time flew by for me. It only felt like about 15 minutes! So grateful to have found Arianna!
Oh my goodness this is such a JOY to hear!!! I’m so so happy the God and the TH-cam Algorithm joined forces to bring me to you! 😅😂🙌🏾🙌🏾 so happy you enjoyed it. ♥️
Your classes are so amazing! I struggle a lot with anxiety and that triggers a lot of physical pain and these videos are so helpful not only to ease the physical pain and stretch my body but also to calm my mind and slow down for a bit.
Many thanks! I am glad I came across your restorative practice. Arianna you are now my restorative home practice yogi of choice! "Supportive frog pose"... who knew!?!? Thank you!
This was a beautiful class, exactly what I was looking for when I stumbled on your page. Adding to my favorites! Thank you for your gentle voice and that beautiful singing bowl ❤❤
This helped me so much. I have been coming home recently from a day of massaging with aching hips, los back and legs. Usually I can hardly move the next day. I did this touring last night and today I am pain free. I will be doing this every week! Thanks for this blessing 🙏
I had a massage last week and the therapist encouraged me to look into yin or restorative yoga (I'm battling frozen shoulder and tight hips) and your video has been amazing! I've been under alot of stress recently and your gentle approach is much appreciated. I'll be tuning in more often.
Been having a tough week. Breathing into my tight muscles helped me release a lot. Not just physically, but emotionally. Thank you for this! Love seeing a yogi that is a believer and incorporates it into her practice.
This was beautifully and so relaxing. I however struggled so much with every pose related to the hips as I have shockingly tight hips. Every hip pose was almost impossible for me but I tried. I love you so much and thank you for sharing your gift with us
This was absolutely amazing! I love your classes a lot. For my body, however, pigeon pose was really inaccessible and I ended up modifying it! All in all, great class. I feel nice after doing it.
Thank you so much for sharing your practice and your light, your kind words, your being. The singing bowl to cue moving out of the poses was *so* lovely. Will be checking out your other videos! Came here b/c my partner gifted me some props and woooooeeee yes i could do this supported pigeons every day!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful practice. I m an aspiring Ashtangi and this has been particularly very hectic for the physical and mental body. This was a great complement to the heavy Ashtanga practice :)
I don't usually comment on videos, but this video was amazing and so relaxing. I felt like I was really in a live yoga class. I loved everything about it. Your energy is perfect. Instant follower!
Wow - what a beautiful peaceful yet deep practice .. I have never allowed myself to use supports in yoga before ; but with this practice you have allowed me to understand the beauty of allowing gravity to be the main force rather than me pushing my body around. My body is most definitely grateful to you - learning to slow down daily. Appreciate you
Thank you so, so much, Arianna. I really needed that. I have chronic fatigue syndrome and restorative yoga really helps bring my energy up. I feel calm, rested, and at peace after this. Would love to see more of these videos!
Thank you for this practice. I recently was able to invest in some at home bolsters, blocks, and blankets. This really helped me make good use of them. Will be checking out your other videos as well!
This was beautiful! Please do more like this. Holding the poses really helped to loosen my hips and lower back, but was gentle and calming at the same time. Thank you!
Thank you for this. The first pose released a lot of tears and emotions that I’ve been holding back, so I’m thankful for restorative yoga teacher like you. They say a lot of trauma is held in the hips (ie. The psoas) and I think it’s true
Found your channel a week ago. This was so nice and my body needed it.. I did the practice on my balcony. It was a nice way to combine with meditation.
What an amazing class. I relatively new to yoga (8 months) and I really plateaued about 3 months in. I was getting discouraged and thought about quitting but when Covid shut down my studio I started doing these restorative yoga classes at home and I realized that I was no where near flexible to be trying the positions and variations that I was trying and I really needed this time to let my body heal for a bit and try to really relax and let it open on its own. Thanks so much!
I loved this practice!! I had to modify some of the poses, but it was soo relaxing. The bowl was a lovely way to end poses. The length of the class was great.
Thank you so much for this lovely class. I was feeling a bit tight in my hips today so i grabbed a second bolster with two blocks on the first level underneath to raise the chest up in pigeon and frog pose, and it was extra relaxing. Thank you again so much, namaste
This was just what my mind and body needed - awesome restorative class and the singing bowl, loved it! My hips have been extremely tight lately, I think its all the COVID worry so the supported frog and pigeon poses while at first were challenging right now I feel so open. Will definitely come back for this session again. Thank you
This was a really lovely combination of poses - thank you! I love using lots of props for restorative (both when I practice and when I teach), and I even added a light sandbag to some of the poses. 🥰
THIS WAS EXCELLENT. I’m going to go look for more videos from this teacher now. 👍🏼 🙏🏼
THERE SHE GOES AGAIN WITH THE SUPERIOR CONTENT 🥺🥺🥺💖!!!!
Enjoyed this very much. so relaxing, calming and uplifting! I love seeing black women doing YOGA! this video Rocks! Thanks so much Arianna
thank you SO much!!!
I do too. It’s the absolute best
Calm & Soothing Voice
Excellent - thank you - especially for the reminder to have kind words for yourself as well as others.
More restorative practices please!!!! 😩
I've been sick during the las week 🤧 and your restorative routines have helped me to stretch and relax my aching body, thank you so much!

Thank you for posting this. After doing this the first time, it relieved a lot of my back pain and I slept so well.
My favorite combination of yin poses❤️ Thank you for this🙏🙏 May you be well🙏
This is a great practice to do while fasting.✨
Enjoyed the instruction, sequence, transitions w/ the singing bowls, the silence. Thank you!
Still one of my most needed videos! Thank you so much.
Excellent practice. Challenging, yet effective. Thank you!
So good and thanks. Relief right away with supported frog. you have a soothing voice too.
You are seriously so sweet and kind!
What bless, finally something I can do without being in much pain. Thank you very much
Thank you so much 😊. It helped me to come back to myself at the end of a hectic work week 🙏🏼 Namaste
This is my week of restorative yoga. Pigeon is always a challenge but I need it. Loved it ♥️💜💙
What a beautiful practice! Thank you Arianna :)
Beautiful: the practice, your voice, you.
Thank you so much, you are a wonderful teacher and I really really appreciate you sharing. Much gratitude
You are so welcome!
my first class with Arianna, thankyou for a very much needed rest and relaxation, i'm now going to scout through all your other content as I love your vibe. Sending metta, Alex, Shropshire, UK
Thank You soo much for this beautiful Practice. My lower back pain disappeared literally in the first 2 postures itself😇😇😇
That was quite different. I didn't want to go to sleep. I love that you have videos on yoga for feet and other areas not so touched by other yoga platforms. Thanks sis I was rejuvenated while I rested.
This was immensely healing, thank you so much
wonderful restorative sequence! thank you, Arianna Elizabeth!
This was so relaxing! Loved the singing bowl transitions

Thank you, that was wonderful! Would really appreciate a similar class for upper back/shoulders!

Yes I had to add more blocks and position them vertical. I couldn't stay as long and that's okay.
Wonderful way to start alllll my days
Thank you sooooo much for this wonderful experience!
