I can't believe my lucky star today when I "accidentally" came across this beautiful practice. I loved both the sequence (I just wish it was double the length...), your voice and words and the captivating aesthetics, especially the popping texts. Please keep up the great work!

I found these classes because I saw Elena on Just Move and looked her up, and now I do them most afternoons - there's something really calming and mindful about Elena's teaching, the movement she picks and the music! Inky is also the best. I was worried there weren't going to be more classes but I dug around Instagram and can see there's more coming, and I'm SO PLEASED. This one is my particular favourite!

Oh my gosh, this is exactly what I needed after yesterdays long and strenuous hike - it was my first one after being out of commission for a couple of years and I am in serious recovery mode right now. The hip stretch she did early on was like everything!

Great recovery session after a long active week. I often go too hard and treat hatha yoga like a sport, and get too bored during yin yoga. This was the perfect balance.

Thoroughly enjoyed - and I *am a pro athlete. Was looking for some mid-week recovery yoga and stumbled upon this. I do enjoy yin for the stretch out but this was interesting as it felt like it started out as yin and then went into a bit of flow. Loved the pop-up graphics, found the breathing one quite calming. Sometimes a bit skeptical when the views are in the thousands but this was a pleasant surprise. Elena, you could do with your own yoga channel if you don't already have one?

Stretching before (to prepare for), and after (to recover from), working out, is an excellent habit. Stretching (correctly) can help reduce soreness and stiffness too. We're so happy that you found this video exactly when you needed it! Please check our channel for more even more yoga videos from Elena.

My best recommendation is to simply keep trying it out. As with any new hobby, skill, or endeavor, there's a period of "feeling new" before things start to click. It can feel a bit awkward or cumbersome at first, but I think after a few repetitions you'll feel like you can follow along without looking. :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
