My wife and I have been practicing yoga for several years. In our 70's, we are able to do so much that would be impossible without our yoga sessions.
That's so great, Tom! We love to hear that!👍
Great info and inspiration “ all we really have control over is our response”. 💕 Thank you and love to hear more
Thanks, Robin. If you liked this video, we hope that you will check out other videos with Elena on this (REI's TH-cam) channel.
Thank you, Robin!
Great to find someone that that has an athletes background and is understanding of their needs. I’ve struggled for over a year with my hamstrings from running. Physio, compression boots and cryo therapy have had limited results. Following a few of your videos have made a much bigger difference along with recognising that my only competition is myself. Not every training session needs to be at max pace. Thank you
This is a great share! We're so glad these videos have made a difference in the way you feel and the way you think. 🙌🙌🙌
Just love how you articulate the vast benefits of yoga here Elena…
Thank you Virginia! :) Appreciate you.
Just started practicing yoga. Love what you said about things being out of our control. Such a beautiful message and reminder. Thanks for this! :)
I did my first yoga class in like 3 years yesterday in part bc this video was floating around in my head. 👍
Now that is the best type of comment. Great job getting that class in. Cheers to more we hope!
I'm just starting to get into yoga and this is really great to hear. I love your vibe and how uncontrived and natural your delivery is. Thanks and please post more!
I love yoga for the breath and, in turn, the stress relief. I also love practicing with my kids!
Hi, Aaliyah! That's awesome that you bring your whole family into it. Everyone benefits!
This is great! Thanks for making this video!
Excellent Ted Talk, no, but really, thanks. I've watched some of your other videos, and they've been great (especially stretching out your feet, that's been a game-changer).
Remembering to breathe is essential; relax and take every day as it comes. Thanks again!
Glad you enjoyed, Eric!
Love it! Another great video from Elena. I use yoga for injury prevention during Snowboarding.
Yoga is a great way to stay loose.
I love the video. I also have been doing yoga enemas and yoga for detoxing, fitness, health and wellness since 1995 when I was 13 years old.
How someone who's never done yoga before but wants to do it, should start getting into a yoga routine? Where to start? What to do? Mornings/before going to bed? For how long each session? What types of yoga are out there and which are more suited for what?
Thanks Elena, always shining!
Hi, Marc! Here's an article that may help with the different types of yoga practices, and some considerations when starting: bit.ly/3EQEx45
The article that REI linked is great, my immediate two cents are... find shorter sessions, try slow flow/restorative/any level I or beginner labelled classes. Time of day doesn't matter, whatever works for your schedule and seems like it'll stick. I'd say start anywhere from 10 - 30 minutes, and if you take to yoga, you'll naturally gravitate to longer classes! I'll let the article cover the class types, as there are many, but don't be afraid to dabble! My personal favorite classes are slow flow :)
I love your video, it's perfect it relaxed me. Are you think make again this type of video?
Thanks for the feedback! We certainly love lectures so stay tuned :)
I'm only here while I wait for Miranda.
Same
I do yoga before my long range marksmanship competitions.
That's next level
AAALLLLL MIIIINEEEEE 😍😙😗😎
why dont you push any other religion?
Please, STOP talk about yoga.
If you don't like yoga, stop watching videos about it. You know you're in control of what you consume, right?
