Overview

Good morning, thanks for practicing with me today! In this 10 minute morning yoga class, I’m going to take you through an energizing and powerful yoga class that won’t involve any downward dogs, planks or chaturangas.

We’ll work a lot on our balance and leg strength wit this short flow while of course giving ourselves a nice stretch. This is an intermediate morning yoga class with no props required. If you’re dealing with a wrist or shoulder injury, this is a great option for you. Sometimes it’s also nice to just take a break from those poses.

    Great video! Would love to see more hands free; i have carpal tunnel which can make it hard to put weight on my hands and wrists.

  2. mariemartin83@gmail.com

    This was a fun option! I do have a suggestion! How about a short session (about 10-15 mins) that you dont need yo use a yoga mat?

  3. Stacey Sherwood

    Agreed! Some more shirt hands free options would be great. Like Rebecca, I have weak left wrist due to a horse riding injury, and sometimes it is great to do a class without having to worry about putting pressure on it.

  5. beth martin

    Loved that as i have a bad shoulder 😀

  6. gkasaundra@gmail.com

    Yes please more of these! I’m getting close to almost being healed from a dog bite on my hand but these flows made it easy for me to still incorporate my favorite form of movement into my healing journey.

  7. Ash Smith

    Love these hands free practices! Especially for during menstruation. ♡

  8. Amber Nelson

    Great flow. I too would like more hands free. I’m a massage therapist and already do a lot of pushing and wrist extension. Thanks so much.

  17. Sarah Eggleston

    I really overworked my shoulders yesterday clearing brush in my yard, so this was the perfect practice to loosen them up while giving them a little break. Plus, i totally need practice of balancing poses. Thank you!

  18. ortal sharlin

    I would love more hands free and balancing poses! Thanks

  19. Kylie Biaggi

    LOVE this!! Very challenging while giving my wrists a break. I love yoga but struggle with wrist pain most of the time during practices. I have pain from persistent ganglion cysts. Thank you, Kassandra!

  20. Kylie Biaggi

    Also, more hands free classes, please!

  21. Liz Herbst

  25. Delphine Goswami

    Loved this class! I broke my pinkie and it was just perfect!

  26. Eva Bürstmayr

    That was a really nice practice. I’m staying in hotel this weekend and forgot my yoga mat at home. This is perfect to do on the carpet floor and a nice break for my wrists. :). Some more and/or longer hands-free classes would be cool

    • Eva Bürstmayr

      But above all that: Thank you Kassandra!

  27. Jennifer McMillan

    Great practice. More sessions like this please

  28. Patricia Brune

    Thank you ♥ thank you ♥ thank you from the bottom of my heart! I have rheumatoid arthritis and so much joint damage in my hands and wrists. I joined your app for the yin practices, but truthfully I do need a physical challenge. I hate that RA took my flow/power yoga practice from me – but this made me feel whole again. I need these types of poses for bone health. I would be so thankful for more hands free practices.

  29. Sandy Koppelman

    I would be grateful for more balancing and standing poses. I love the vinyasa but really need to grow my strength and balance. I would also like to start to develop a headstand practice and could use your instruction to start at the beginning. Thanks Kassandra! Namaste to all. ❤️✌️

  30. Melissa Bridges

    That was tough! Evidently I do need more of these sequences. I would like more evening 10 minute classes I did the 30 day evening and have been going through the others.

  31. Renee Hernandez Greenfield

    More hands free flow would be great! This was challenging! I need more, to help me get stronger. Thank you Kassandra!

  32. Mary McElman

    Love a bit more hands free. Ive recently injired my shoulder. This was great. A bit of modificstion for arm but not much. At least it got me back onto the mat!

  33. Sonja Sanderson
