That was the best freaking description of a hip joint and the differences between people that I have ever seen ….and I have been in the medical field for 23 years.

Best yoga channel for sure, most teachers I’ve seen don’t go into the more woo woo stuff like the power of belief. “The person who thinks they can and the person who thinks they can’t are both correct” Confucius

I can vouch for the power of belief 100% Been having "tight" hamstrings my whole life to the point I thought I just wasn't built for it. I would stretch with the others after group dance practice but could barely go down at all because the pain was terrible and even if I pushed through it like I was told to do it just didn't seem to have any effect. Had to drop dancing because of an injury (and money) and became very inactive, then I threw my back out trying to put a shoe on. A visit to the physio and he couldn't do anything for my back, but noticed my hamstrings and showed me stretches to work on them because being unable to bend properly meant I was compensating with my back. So I dropped thinking "I could never" because of necessity. If you've ever had terrible back pain you know how debilitating it is. I didn't want to live like that. Then I found your video about nerve gliding which helped a lot, and today I touched my feet for the first time. Mindset is so important. Don't resign yourself to "never". If something hurts or doesn't seem to work, figure out *why* that is. Progress might be slower than you want but it really is the journey that matters most, not the end goal. You'll get there eventually but for that you *need* to keep going at it. Believe in yourself, and be *kind* to yourself.

What a brilliant explanation! So simple and makes me feel a lot better about not being so flexible, despite much work...and also setting my expecations better. Thank you so much!

I so appreciate your videos! Your explanations are great and they always make me feel better about my body. Plus, ever since I followed your nerve gliding videos, the pinched nerve that was causing me pain on and off for years has not bothered me once :D

I am so glad I found your channel. You are concise and thorough with explaining the what and the why. It is easy to understand and makes a lot of sense. I love your teaching style. As a new yoga teacher, I’m taking notes! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us 😊

MY MOM LOVED THIS!! She asked me to help her get back in shape for the new year and I started her with some upper body MadFit. Then I bring up this channel and she's like "No no no. I can't crow. I can't do that fancy stretch. My body just doesn't work like that" and I say "Trust me, you're going to like this one." And here's the LL lady saying "Some people's bodies just don't work like that AND HERE IS ALL THE SCIENCE AND STUFF!" and my mom, a career chemist was like "Yes! More of this!"

Awesome channel! Been wondering about this hip flexibility ’issue’ for a while and you explained it so clearly, thanks!

I love the way you explain the subject which other yoga teachers don't do. This motivated me to start a mobility routine as a 60year old Bodybuilder who has lost a big part of his flexibility over time. Nobody told mi about Nerve Gliding and other Tricks.I realized that Muscle also needs Mobility to prevent aging.

This is a great explanation, crazy how we know so little about our bodies. I do wish more practitioners would accept our differences rather than guilt tripping those of us that struggle with some movements more than the next person. 🧘🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🏋🏾‍♀️

Loving this series of videos. Thank you, Liv! I’ve made some leaps and bounds in my practice by incorporating your exercises into my day when I get up from my desk and stretch or chilling in the evening while watching TV/listeners to music. ❤

Really impressed. You must be one of the only teachers out there who has actually taken the time to explain the hip anatomy. Excellent stuff.

Wow, I really feel I've hit the jackpot finding your channel! The one about nerve gliding was a revelation and a revolution for me and my body. Thank you so much for these educational videos! I'm shocked you don't have millions of subscribers. Hopefully you'll get there, you definitely deserve it. Thank you! 💖

Been following your channel since a while...and I gotta say it's the best channels for yoga techniques....I had been focusing on strength all the time but later realized that I lack flexibility...had searched quite a lot of channels ...just to be fooled by those click baits...but ur channel is really awesome...thankyou livinleggings🤗🤗

Just woke up and enjoyed listening to your voice. I just couldn't stop smiling listening to you and watching all these cute demo.. I'm thin but hard as a log and 3 yrs ago I couldn't even touch my toes just barely passing my knees, now I can put my palm on the ground but still have long way to go as I still can't hug my legs or pancake. Probably another 3-5yrs! And probably another 5yrs for a split! But no matter how long it'll take I'll keep practicing until I reach my goal! Thanks for the motivation! Fighting! ! 😂😂🤣🤣

I loved this video. The anatomy part was very interesting to me and I loved your last sentences. I even teared up a tiny bit. I really liked every workout/video I've done so far and I recommended your channel to my sister yesterday. Thank you, honestly... ❤

I love your attitude and visualization methods. seldom i find people describe parts of yoga well or helpful for people at different stages of their practice, but i love the way you approach the topics :)

For some reason your videos are very encouraging and touchable, thank you for that!

You are gold literally why are you not popular !! Love your in depth explanations

Your channel literally changed my life quality. Thanks.

Just found you. This is clearest and most helpful yoga channel I've seen. Thank you!

Fantastic as always. A simple, yet fun explanation, including the psychological aspects too!

Best explanation I have ever heard and seen! Thank you for your knowledge!

Your tutorials are so so important Liv...keep them coming! Oh, and Ed is amazing, too 🙂 THANK YOU!!

At the beginning of my yoga class, the teacher to say, remember we are all different and we are all different on different days. I always remember this, especially when I'm not doing as well as I have before. Great videos👌

Your videos are really excellent. I love your use of props, motion graphics, and analogies to help these concepts make sense.

Thank you so much! I'm so tight at the moment (working on it) but, have always been able to do a butterfly stretch with knees touching the ground effortlessly. Finally understand why thanks to this video

I like how she goes on anatomy differences to explain. This makes such a difference, indeed.

I have to say doing your three basic total body stretch routines in another video, I found when practicing restorative Yoga after a soft (because I'm starting this at 61 years old) Ashtanga workout, I was amazed at how much hip and hamstring flexibility I have gained. I'm keeping this up every other day (so I don't overdo it) with plenty of dog walking and multi-gym workouts. Thanks for your help and love watching your videos. Ian

youre the most amazing thing (I mean ur content and your personality together) that I’ve added to my yoga journey. appreciate u!

I'm so stiff that I consider myself as a walking plank so I'm quite happy to have found this channel. In other words, I have significantly less mobility than what I think I should have as a 33 year old male.

OMGosh, so clear about the different anatomy of people affecting different flexibilities... you give such clear and relevant explanations in this and your other videos, thank you, keep it up. I will keep learn working on things.

You honestly rock at this, thank you for making me understand better my progress limitations !

Both your outlook and your visualization techniques are fantastic. Thank you for making such heartwarming and inspiring videos. Xo Heather Thrills

Loved learning this visually with you♥️ you do an amazing job

Really good explanation of hip socket. Thanks.

Thanks Liv, as usual very well explained. You are a natural teacher and I always look forward to your vids 🧘‍♀️ you are truly motivational ❤️

"comparison is the thief of joy" wow! love that. so wise. so true

thank you this was very informative. also very well put together with effective cuts that made it entertaining to watch

This was SO HELPFUL. Thank you 🙏 I kept thinking something was wrong. I’m stretching to help my mobility. I’m in my late 20s.

Very interesting, thank you, it helps understand the body’s functionality 🌸

Great video, I really like your stuff, I wish I'd done your mobility+strength workshop this weekend. Like others, I really appreciate your teaching style. I don't know if you do the more cerebral side of yoga - but if you do I'd love to see a vid or 2 of mindfulness / how to meditate. I am learning but you seem to really give me insights with the physical side so well, I think you would also explain the other very well. I don't so much mean the spiritual side, more the nuts and bolts of the practise.

I’ve been learning so so much about my body .. it’s crazy how oblivious one can be to understanding their own “vessel” .. I had diasistis recti, rib flare and anterior pelvic tilt .. correcting all of it has been crazy but I’m seeing progress.. I can’t believe I’ve just been living so out of wack. You’ve been extremely helpful lady! Thank you ❤

I love all the detailed instruction. I have learned so much from your channel. Thank you.

This is so helpful. I, like others try to stretch in some ways and can't do it as well as someone else. You then start to put yourself down thinking you arn't as good as others. But with other movements you can find it easy and another person can't do it.

I couldn't agree more. Channel will be recommended to as many people as possible. Thanks for helping me confirm a couple of thoughts about the psychological part.

Thanks so much for explain us with easy understadning manner how our body/flexibility works, learn so much with you. Greets and keep the great work!

You seem to be such a lovely, warm, and welcoming person. It makes me want to reach through the screen and hug you. Wonderful videos!

I just stumbled upon this channel recently and was struck by your great humor and the interesting way you present the information. And of course the dog :)

Anatomy was never interesting until today 😂. I love how you teach us things in a fun way!

As always, greatly informative❤

All makes sense ... now!!! wish I had known before. Many thanks for this one! xxx

Omggggg you just changed my world !! I've been working so hard on my "Asian squat" and I couldn't get why it was so tough to make progress although my normal deep squat is improving ! I think it has a lot to do with this hahaha

Love this explainer.

You have a great channel!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. ❤

What a brilliant channel! Really insightful content! Thanks.

This is the first time anyone has explained this. I have always wondered why while my muscles are very flexible, for the life of me I cannot open my hips. No yoga or Pilates instructor have ever explained this to me when I’ve asked. Like the pigeon pose literally hurts my knee because my hip joint won’t open adequately. Now i know that I’m not somehow deformed just built differently. Thank you.

This 5 minute video answered so many questions that I've had over the years. I used to be extremely flexible as a child and teenager, I stretched everyday. I'm trying to get back my flexibility, and I know I can. Thanks for the video!!!

Great stuff as usual...

Such awesome presentation. Thank you for the thoughtful content!

I loved the message of this video, thank you for these important reminders. ❤

Yeyyyy..thats so rich channel for watch, many thanks 💝☺

Lovely calming voice you’ve got.

Such good explanations! I’ve immediately subscribed (rare for me). I’m stuck at home with covid so will binge on all your videos. Thanks so much!,

I have always struggled with front bends but can do amazing back bends and other stuff. Still trying to become better with the first, of course!

Thank you for the positive attitude and the through explanations.

this is amazing. u are so inspiring

i started just 2 days ago and i was searching different videos; "stretches for splits, scorpion or how to reach feet" and nothing worked, it was like all that pain for nothing, but then i finally found your channel as i was about to give up and thought ''not like i was gonna lose anything'' but then i saw your nerve gliding and this video then another one about stretching and i couldn't believe how fast it worked, i used to not even get down a quarter when doing the front splits but now i need let then a quarter to reach all the way, my phsc therapy tried to give me stretches for hamstrings too, but they never ending up working. although i dont know how you did it but i'm super flexible for not stretching for 6-7 years. so i just wanted to say thank you for all your help. literally recommending to my friends :)!

I like this woman. She always talks so much sense. x

I love your videos. Thank you for all of the great information and instruction.

Brilliant! Just positively awesome! Thanks so much

Love this channel! For some reason, for my entire exercising life, I’ve never been able to fully and easily touch my toes. Now that I am older and have a bit of a disc bulge, I don’t even try. But, she’s got lots of other good postures! 🎉❤

Fantastic explanation!❤

Fantastic explanation of our hip joints ❤

One thing to add in addition to hip physiology. I discovered that my lack of hip mobility was due to a twisted pelvis and my hip flexors/glutes being unable to 'turn off'. Look up PRI (the link between your brain and muscles turning on and off, especially when you walk) and the basic hip balancing exercise, I had an instant release of the muscles around my hip and increase in range of motion.

Been working my way through your 21 day yoga playlist was in day 10 but have caught the covid. It’s done an absolute number on my back and shoulder muscles. Looking forward to getting back in to it.

😅 This is one of the best explained & demonstrated video with wonderful graphics and sound effects I've seen in awhile! 👏️ (and I don't mean just in the exercise category) Thank you! ❤️

Fun to watch and a lot of good stuff to learn!

Love your channel, it has given me a ton of help with my hips! Plus i love the Lily tattoo you have.

Howdy from 🇺🇸......excellent video and a lot of words of wisdom......I am planning on following your channel and please keep up with the great work☺️👍

Gosh I've been telling my yoga students this for about 30 years. Nice to hear other people saying it too.

Wow ! Wow ! Such a wonderful useful video, you have answered many questions 😅 and now I feel more confident and I accept my body more than before, cuz 4 years and I’m struggling with side split 🙈😆😆 now I understand why 🤓 Thank you so much ❤ love you and love your videos .

Very informative, Thankyou for sharing with us ❤❤

Bravo 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 I love the content of your channel. The information it is very useful 👌🏽

Hi! Im a yoga teacher from Argentina, and I absolutely love this video and how you explain evetything, if it were in spanish I will send it to my students, very often I see them frustrated and with negative thougth about flexibility. Thanks so much for this! :)

Thank you so much for this video. I am in adult ballet and have been for 4 years come this February and I am 50. I do not have great turn out but I have never had great hip flexibility, like when you were sitting crossed legged, it just doesn’t happen for me. I also have spurs on the end of my femur head. I am forever comparing myself to other people in other classes that I have been in even people who are 13 years old and I know that I cannot compare myself to them. I can do a left split but not a right split and my middle split is nonexistent. Also my left hip pops right where the ball enters the cup so to speak every time I walk. I never even considered there to be anatomy differences I just assumed I was old and just not as good as everybody else so thank you again for this video.

Aww this made my heart happy 🥰 Thank you

Great video and hosting

I am a fitness instructor ( with done flexibility issues 😅) and this is one of the very best vid .

Consistant Positive affirmations saved my life. They are powerful!

Got to hand it to you: you are an excellent presenter. It's either natural, or experience in sales or both. Even a kinesiology stickler like myself - didn't have anything to contradict. A pretty, eloquent girl who speaks on par with the better of my old college lecturers...not something one sees every day. I salute you. 🙏 Now i can yoga-answer my yoga-addicts with your videos.

Nothing Hyppie here. The state of mind is crucial. Whatever you want to do, you have to accept your starting point and allow yourself to not be good at it,while taking one step at a time, learning to enjoy the little bit of progress you eventually experience.

Very good video! Spot on! And it is true, whether you believe you can, or believe you can’t, you are correct! Believe you can!

very helpful - i lack internal rotation on the left side - thank you!!!

Dang. I learned stuff from the body of this video and the conclusion was a great mix of comfort, encouragement, and inspiration. Thanks. Big thumbs up. Also... So much unseen effort goes into creating these videos. Charting the flow, writing the words, choosing the vibe, and then lighting and shooting it in front of what background? You're a skilled content creator and knock it out of the park. I'm happy to leave a comment for the bump.

I've been consistently stretching for over a year and a half. I have came to the acceptance that stretching is a skill and very individual. My results have been abysmal however still good enough to keep me moving and keeping me out of pain. I still can't touch my toes with straight legs or sit on my knees with my bum touching the floor, knees up in the air and can't sit on my butt comfortably on the floor without falling back. This has been the case throughout my life. Once i got rid of that frustration and made it just part of my routine it was easy to stick to.

love this video. can you explain when to know when you've reached your bone limit vs just not flexible enough yet

Thank you so much for your vidéos. I learn so many things

Thanks for sharing this Story About Flexibility 😁
