I like it (I'm a beginner) yoga is not easy for beginners... Don't try to do every pose every time get familiar with it, pause and stuff... GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU 👍

you sir know what's what... sick of people complaining to tara that her videos are too fast and hard... it's about building up to the video not get it right at first

So I watched and did this before I even took an actually yoga class and learned how to align my body and connect my breath with my movement I would def recommend for total beginners to not try to do this yet u might hurt yourself! I know it was really hard for me before but now I love it it is still challenging but I am able to keep up with it! ♡ thanks Tara

Tara is my favourite yoga person i've found on youtube so far :) yeah it's a little fast I guess but i don't mind and have learnt how to keep up. However, if you wanna do it slower, just memorize the poses and do it in your own time, shouldn't be a huge problem.

Today was my first time doing yoga. I did 3 of Tara's videos (this one being the last) and I already feel great! I think it's important for people to know their limits when they first start, and that the flexibility will come as you practice. Thank you for the great videos Tara!

@lorihanover350 7 жыл бұрын

I LOVE Tara Stiles! You have been a fantastic introduction to yoga for me. This is coming from a 56 yr old who has not worked out in a very long time. I generally prefer your videos as you go slowly which I have needed as a beginner. That said....I can not do this video. You move extremely fast from one pose to another! I can barely get into one before you have moved onto another. I would love it if you would do another video such as this, working on balance but with some easier moves and slower pace. I will continue to do the other videos though, you have made me feel like a rock star so far. Thanks Tara

Way too fast paced for a beginner. I understand the importance of switching sides, but when we are facing away from our computers it's hard to see what youre doing and keep up. There must be a better way to switch sides without having to switch away from the video.

@sarahchick6838 11 жыл бұрын

The first time i did this routine I wasn't even close, half the time I was crumpled on the floor trying to figure out what she was doing. The second time (a week later), I was able to get a few of the poses and they felt really good. I like the dancer pose. I'm excited to get more balance so I can move on to more advanced routines. These videos have been great for slowly building the skills, (balance, strength, flexibility) to do yoga without injury. Thanks tara! I feel strong and confident.

The first time I attempted to do this workout I quit at the second pose. I left it, did other yoga routines, and this time, a couple months later, I made it through the routine. I was wobbly and couldn't complete every pose, but it was much easier this time around than the first time. It's all about the buildup and you can do it!

@elizabethford2851 10 жыл бұрын

This routine is awesome. Up to this point i have been able to follow the pace but now i do agree the pace is a little fast when you are trying to get into the pose you cant focus on what Tara is doing and on getting the pose perfectly so then you just end up plopping onto the floor lol

Feels good though when you reach the end and realize you made it. Love your videos Tara. A lot complain about pace, but I find your videos perfectly paced. I personally start off with your Mobility & Flexibility video, then move on to the Core Strength video, and then finish up with this Balance routine. Been doing that for a week and I feel great. So thank you, Tara. Thank you for these wonderful videos.

After couple of weeks, I stretched my leg and my foot, and did the dancer pose ! :D I'm feeling so amazing right now! Guys, this won't be achieve in one day, you must keep practice and you'll do it;D

I am really REALLY new to yoga..I started a few days ago, and now I try to do at least an hour of your videos a day. I have been doing alright so far, except for this one. I keep losing my balance completely...is this normal the first few times? I also cannot get my heels all the way to the ground on downward facing dogs. So on the other videos I've been trying my best, but I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong. It's getting frustrating for me, which I know is not good, yoga should be relaxing..

I have a question. Once I've mastered the beginner sequences, should I move to intermediate? Has anyone besides me, mastered these videos and does her other videos now, and if so could you tell me which ones? Or can I get a yogis advice. It would be really helpful if someone could help me out :)

@melis96 10 жыл бұрын

yes I think you should try other, more intermediate videos. I too started yoga with Tara's beginner series and I thought I would be stuck doing these forever because they were too hard in the beginning. I was practicing regularly and once I realized I could easily do these series, I moved onto her other videos which I have been practicing with since. I also recommend Sarah Beth's videos. Keep practicing and stay happy :)

You are never too old to start practicing yoga. :3 I've seen women in their 70's start yoga. Don't worry about these exercises being too hard. That's how most of us start out. Balance exercises are harder to do if the strength in your muscles aren't up to par.
