These look dangerous
I enjoy and appreciate your calming voice and quiet slow methodical instruction.
Hello, thank you so much for sharing this session. I have just been diagnosed with low back osteoporosis which shocked me as I am only 55 and fairly active. How often do you recommend doing this, every day? Twice a day? I really want to get on top of this disease. Thank you again for this awesome video. ☺️
What height yoga block please? Here in the UK they all seem to be oblong shaped and usually around 22 cm tall, though I've seen one 30cm…
The only oval one I see on Amazon is 23 cm but yours looks taller….Thanks
The 12 poses, by their English names, were tree, triangle, warrior II, side-angle, twisted triangle, locust, bridge, supine hand-to-foot I, supine hand-to-foot II, straight-legged twist, bent-knee twist and corpse pose. Each pose was held for 30 seconds.
Hi Kendra! I wondered how long are you holding each pose? 5 breaths? 8 seconds? I'd like to remember so that I can do these any time even without access to youtube. Thanks so much!
I never really left – only got too busy to do them faithfully every other day. Too much gardening!
I've been too busy the past two weeks to do much but thanks to doing your 12 poses every other day for the past two years or so, I picked up fine. Without you and your yoga I wouldn't have been able to start ballet which I really am loving. Thank you Kendra so much.
Thank you for creating this. Love the pace and the direction, so easy to follow! Part of my daily routine.
Tnanks a lot Kendra, of Perú 🇵🇪
I thought twists were contraindicated for osteoporosis?
thank you for this. I just started this in the last week as I have just been diagnosed with osteoporosis! this is great!
Just to say I'm doing your suggested exercises to improve getting the wrists back towards the wall for the 'cactus' pose in the 12 poses and it's already making a difference. Thank you very much indeed. Just seen your post about preparing for birth, minimising tearing and recovering afterwards. I so wish I had had these exercises when I gave birth 42 and nearly 40 years ago! There was almost nothing and being reasonably fit, I could do the exercises they did give us (better than my mother who had nothing) immediately so they weren't hard enough or deep enough or perhaps they lacked your knowledge and experience Kendra? The first time all of us mums attended physio in a class at the hospital, we were instructed by a nun, who was very young, beautiful and sweet and nice but couldn't bring herself to say, 'vagina'! I still remember with great fondness and appreciation how we all found that incredibly funny as no doubt other mums can well imagine! Stephanie
