    I started running a few months ago, and have been watching your videos ever since. I genuinely don't understand how your videos don't have more views, they stand out to me over any other resource. You provide great content for free, and your constant emphasis on doing what feels good for each unique body is so so important and really encourages me. I love feeling my body destress and relax as the videos progress, I never knew that stretching could feel so good before I found your channel! I really enjoyed the longer style of video, I definitely neglect my upper body stretches 😅. Thanks for the video :D

    I had an argument with my partner and was feeling quite stressed after she left the house for a meeting. I decided to tend to my stress and go for a run, I haven't ran in a while but I stayed out for an hour just going at my own pace. I felt like I could keep going in terms of my endurance but my feet and ankles were hurting a bit so i thought, better to go home and tend to that. I am so glad I found your video! Your energy is so caring and sweet. I feel centered and happy and excited to make running a regular part of my life again! Thank you so much Ash! best, Jules

    Hey Jules! I hope you have managed to resolve things with your partner. Life gets stressful at times doesn’t it. You did amazing to run for an hour. Go easy and try not to do too much too soon as you come back to running, this is a common mistake that leads to injury. Also embracing the walk/run method is a great tool for building endurance in the body. Glad I could help you after your run. Keep me posted with your progress 👍🏻😊

    I went from 0 to 5k in 8 weeks, and started with some improvised stretching before and after running. I felt terrible, and I believe that I was on my way to harm my own body. Then a few weeks in, I started doing your pre- and post running stretch videos, and I feel a lot better! It's an easier and more comfortable run, and it's the perfect way to stretch and relax afterwards. Thank you so much for making me stretch AND to make me reflect on my run, and for always making me feel better, even when it was a tough and bad run. Thanks for the video, Ash 🙏🏼

    Hey mate, as a young guy I never really stretched. My worst instance of this was after running a marathon, I had a shower and went to bed, that was it. Recently I’ve learned how much mobility I’ve lost by smashing my self at the gym each day combined with running and it definitely feels weird since not a lot of people my age stretch but I’ve noticed massive improvements through watching your videos after every run. Just wanted to give my thanks for having this content be free and available to anyone, since I can’t afford proper yoga classes so this is helping me out a ton. Cheers.

    Thank you, firstly. Secondly, my run was delicious. Today, I've mastered diaphragm breathing, and paired with the slight humidity, everything loosened, my strides got longer, my breath slower but deeper, and allowed me to sail faster without strain--- just relaxing. This is just the cherry on top, feeling free, clear, and open. Thank you, always for helping us keep our temples balanced. Sending lots of love and light.

    I just started running again. This is my second week. I have a bad habit of tryning to start a running rutine and become a person that runs 2-3 times a week, but I easily fall out of it. I´m hoping it will stick this time, and I´m trying to do more things right this time to avoid injuries. I´m really enjoying your warm up and after run streching videos! This one especially elevated my mood. It was a hard run, but now I feel a lot better. Thank you for helping us with these videos!!! Greetings from Norway❤

    I just wanted to share how transformative your warm-up and stretching routines have been for me. Today marks my fifth day running this week, and I truly feel the difference your guidance has made in my form, endurance, and recovery. This morning, I started with the 10-minute Beginners Warm-Up, and it was just what my body needed to kick off the run. After I finished, I did the Post-Run Deep Recharge: Stretching for Beginners routine. It was incredibly soothing and felt as if it was tailored just for my needs after the run. I've decided to make your Bedtime Stretch part of my daily routine. On my running days, I'll continue to incorporate the 10-minute warm-up and the post-run recharge. It's a perfect combination that really works for me. Thank you so much for the fantastic routines and for helping me find the right approach to my fitness. Your expertise has made a significant impact on my training and recovery.

Your approach, with the dynamic yoga stretches, are the perfect combination. The upper body stretches in this routine were an eye opener! My massage therapist stiff muscles were yelling! However, I felt great afterwards! Thank you so much for your follow along routines. Much appreciated! I'll be a better runner and therapist going forward 😊

I’m so glad you can relate to the dynamic nature of my practice.

    What a grand stretch! Thanks ever so much, Ash! Any stretch that starts not crosslegged works best for me. Loved the flow as well as a longer stretch. Hubby recommended this one.

    This practice is amazing. My favorite thing is that it has little exercises but they are very deep and slow. Honestly I wanted to do a 2nd round of the practice right away. As a runner I found that short fast stretches just don't work for me (so quantity is definitely not the answer), while deeper (30-40+second holds) poses instantly release tension and help recovery so much.

There’s so much stretching content out there but you always stand out to me, it’s all running focused which is great but also you’re so informative and encouraging throughout, keeps me engaged in what I’m doing and I never find myself worrying if I’m doing it right or good enough. You have a really friendly and gentle way of doing the session.
