"Fiji's cueing is wonderful. Excellent practice. Thank you! "

"Thank you so much for the great feedback. In response to your question, it's difficult for me to tell you what breathing exercises would be best for you each morning practice. It's kind of like telling someone what they should eat for breakfast... each person is different and therefore responds differently to food and to yoga. I even do a different set of pranayama techniques depending on how I feel in the morning. If I'm feeling lethargic, I'll begin with 50 cycles of Mahat Yoga Pranayama, then 3 rounds of 100 Kapalabhati. If I wake up feeling tense or crampy, I add 3 rounds of 10 repetitions of Uddiyana Bhanda. You only need to try to discover what effects these have. It sounds like you already have... what feels right? "

"Yes... good question. My intention with this video was to keep it simple and teach the technique only, to make it easier to learn. You're correct about the ratio - it's inhale/retention/exhale 1/4/2. You of course don't have to do the retention, and it's advisable that you don't when you first start out. Beginners should follow a count of 3 sec on the inhale, 6 sec on the exhale and increase by one count once it becomes easy to do. "

"is there not a ratio for inhaling and exhaling??? exhaling should be as twice that of inhaling...and for retention 4 times that of inhaling..but no such ratio followed in this nadi sodhana video.. "

"very helpful...but can u load more pranayama videos "

"I'm so grateful for this video!! EXCELLENT verbal cueing...hardly needed to look at the screen while going through the poses. "

"And thanks Rona! Here's my e-mail:bloomwithmelissa@yahoo.ca "

"Thanks Sue! Please feel free to contact me via e-mail if you have any questions or feedback! "

"great! "

"I agree with you Sue. Yoga is a great gentle practice not only for the mind and soul but also for the physical body. "

"This sequence is not only for beginners. It is a wonderful gentle practice for everyone that does yoga. "

"This was good , a nice workout for the neck. Love the relaxed commentary. My neck felt a lot freer after the exercises. thanks "

"Yin yoga is my favorite type of yoga. I feel like a noodle when it's over. This video is very good. "

"I really enjoyed this. Usually I do something with a flow and more intensity but I was tired and decided after 12 sun salutations to do this and was blown away!! I highly recommend this! Namaste. "

"This was a wonderful work out. I loved how it was paced. Thank you! "

"Thank you for this challenging yoga workout. "

"I enjoyed the stretching combined with the binds and twists to deepen the stretches. I especially found the quadriceps stretches especially helpful as I don't find I get many quad stretches in my normal classes. I liked that the progression was directly from sun salutations to the rest of the instruction as in my Ashtanga practice. I did this class within 30 minutes of waking and found my joints to tight to take full advantage of the stretches. It will be a great exercise to de anytime after work when my not so young joints are a bit more loose. Thanks again for a great offering. Namaste "
