Thank you for your video. I am a Yoga Teacher and currently teaching Children with special need. And I wanted to see which yoga stretches footballers might use and enjoy. Since one of my students today was saying he doesn't like Yoga while he was happily following and doing it all!! So, I have found out that he loves football and I am going to use that reference instead to divert his interest to change his perception on Yoga , perhaps it is in the "word" Yoga.. Anyway, I will introduce footballer's Yoga on our tomorrow's lesson & session. Thanks, OM Shanti

I'm a yoga instructor and for someone who isn't a "professional stretcher or yoga teacher 🙂" I found your alignment and body aware information on point! Even the statement about recognizing how one side of your body was tighter or sorer and attributing it to the Right-side use was very insightful (and true!). Your reminder about sleep, hydration and nutrition as three key pillars to recovery and performance were spot on. Great video. Thanks for providing this.
I'm a basketball player and I love doing this stretching routine. It improved my flexibilty and also my recovery. By the way, I was a soccer player before I transitioned to basketball.

These stretches really helped me recover
This is by far the most calming stretching experience I’ve had in awhile (and I am a yoga instructor lol). The talking keeps my screaming muscles occupied
This is the best stretching video for a footballer, I have really tight hips and this has really helped with that and my overall flexibility altogether, thanks!

I weigh 340 pounds, I used to have a problem hitting the pitch to ping some balls with my friends. My back would start hurting so bad after 15 minutes i would stop. When I started doing your stretch/yoga routinely for 3 weeks I noticed my back stop hurting and i was able to last 45 minutes. Now I do the stretch/yoga routinely daily at 4am and try to hit the pitch everyday at 6 and work on fitness/individual training. My Weight-Loss and football journey is going to be a long one. My goal is to get fit and join a competitive sunday league in the next 2 years. You've inspired me and so many others to get out there and get after it. All your content is amazing and you're letting people know the truth. Tho I need to watch your football nutrition more haha. Keep up the hard work and Thanks for everything you've done for us

I’ve followed this routine a few times now and it’s really helpful, thanks Matt!
Saw this vid this morning & have already done the routine twice. I appreciate the different vibes you bring not being a yoga instructor. The athlete vibe is familiar & homey to me, I appreciate that. & I find it funny that my dog is named Gucci lol!
love that you explain how to do the stretches and where you should feel it instead of just filming yourself doing them
Love the idea Matt! Stretching is always important. I switched from soccer to Volleyball this past month but I still love your content. Even though I stopped playing, your videos always awsome!
I can’t believe I followed through all of it! I’m 35 this year, mainly been a Futsal gk for about ten tears. I found the abductors and sitting on your ankles the most painful Even the long straight leg to the side got me and that’s my bread and butter (leg saves) Subbed! The whole routine was great!

I always get injured in my hip flexors, but now I’ll strengthen it and stretch it and just begin to do a lot of injury prevention. This video has been my go-to video for the last 3-4 months
I’ve never really had a stretching routine and chronic injuries from inflexibility pushed me out of pro soccer, day 1 of starting a routine with this video and man it was a massive struggle but going to keep at it 2-3 times a week and see where we end up! Thanks for putting this out there for us soccer players!
i been doing this routine literally mostly each day and i swear to god i never felt so much better my back pain , my hips everything got better even my mobility thanks bro love 💯
Thank you Matt this was fantastic, I'm definitely implementing this into my recovery
This is the best stretch I've done. I haven't played for almost a year. This has helped me play pick up and helped my mobility and performance on pitch.
As a young athlete struggling with season due to pains and tightness in muscles this helped so much just the simple and efficient stretches are so convenient thank you so much
Thanks!! been looking for this kind of video for 2 years literally. Only done the normal yoga stuff It's great to see a soccer specific!

Literally do this twice a week and it's so useful and its really loosening up my muscles good. Thanks man
Finally found a good football yoga video 🔥🔥 explains everything well and has definitely helped me when playing 💪💪

I just finished the full yoga routine. Loved it feels soo great and relaxed. For the last 3 min i focused on my upper body
You know pain were you have to giggle a little bit, yeah that was me 😂
I was looking for soccer specific stretching for so long. And finally it appears on my favorite's KZreadr channel. Thanks a lot, Matt!
That’s soooo good. Especially the first one, I didn’t realize the importance of stretching the toes until I watched your video. Thanks for sharing and talking along the way when you are doing the pose.
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Everytime I get about 1 month into my training sessions I tend to get injured ! So this will definitely help with recovery thanks !
Love the Mill Hoy shoutout 😍 I caved and bought the subscription to his site this year and it’s been sooo worth it
This was great! I have a 13 year old footballer and getting him to stretch isn’t the easiest! We did this together and your tips throughout were so helpful! Thank you.
Gucci's like "Pay attention to me! Daddy I wanna play" hahaha so cute 😍
Just did the whole thing with you, will try and do it at least 3 times a week. Thanks for the video 👍
Thanks! My 10 yro son is a soccer player and just had a growth spurt so has lost some mobility. I am a lot less flexible than I use to be so we are starting this together. It’s a good way for us to spend time together and also get more lumber so we can avoid injuries. Keep up the hood work with the videos. Thanks again.
I'm a Yoga Instructor and I'm going to start teaching a soccer team soon. I really like your video - it inspired me a lot 👍😊 You explained a lot of important things especially that every body is different, that you always feel into your body, the difference between discomfort and pain... 😊 Thank you so much for sharing.
I love this routine, do it all the time now! Thanks for sharing. From, a fellow soccer player

Loved this. Defo gonna encorporate into my everyday morning routine. Personally have a really tight right side of my body, left side is really flexible, right side barely so. Loved the last criss cross stretch. Glad I found this channel
Ive been doing this for a while now during lockdown and it has helped me massively, physically and also mentally. New subscriber 👍👍
I have never stretched out like today. Thanks Matt! So easy to sit and do it with u. This is something i would've never done on my own
This is by far my favorite (stretch, smoothie etc.)
That's the best stretching video I have ever seen. I really like that you talk during the exercises
I learned a bunch of real good stretches for my own routine. Thank you so much.
In case anybody is wondering the last stretch he does works his glutious medius not your glutious Maximus (Butt) But it is a little more toward your quad which helps your kicking motion in soccer and the most powerful kickers have a really stretched out glutious medius Thank you and God bless
I rarely leave comments on KZread videos. But had to congratulate you and give you much deserved props for this video. Found it less than a week ago and stretched along with you 3 times already. Its my go to before playing. 👏⚽️
i am following few stretches for 15 secs and few for 60 secs, and most of them for 30 secs for past week every day before and after i play football. Huge thanks Matt. saviour. i have less fatigue and cramps for the rest of the day.
That was great. I just finished following along the whole time. Felt the adductor stretches a lot. And will continue to use this to open up my hips.
Perfect yoga video! I did this for the last week and has helped me tremendously! (Edit - I have now done this for the last 3 months and I feel amazing!!!)

And as a young footballer those toe stretches to another milky a different dimension. Thank you so much, love your vids

I am glad that the ancient wisdom of INDIA (yoga and meditation) is being adapted and appreciated all over the world now..
Thank you! This really helped me to realize, what I need to stretch more and gave more ideas how!
Been watching your content bro and just recently subscribed !!! I do this routine every morning now. Keep up the good videos!!!! Love from England 👍🏻
Gucci is actually a pretty good name 😂🤣
Gucci is amazing. 😂😂 3:44 LOL, I want this crazy cat. Thanks for this video, it's something I've been needing! I saw your feet stretches, which are a big help, but is there something more I can do for my feet? I have a very big problem with tendon pain and cramping in my feet (almost like Plantars fasciitis) very frequently when I play. Any suggestions?
haven't worked out since a year almost and now my whole body is rigid been following this routine since almost 2 weeks now and thanks for the same
I’ve been looking for this exact video and stretching. All other yoga ones are too much. This one is perfect, just after 4 days my legs feel better than ever
Amazing just did it right now absolute killer😂⚽️
great, but really tough workout :D for me the `dog` was by far the most painful one
Great video! Would love to see one on strength conditioning and elastic band resistance work, showing which muscle groups to train for soccer.
What a great session. Wish I had this 10 years ago but will start it now. Thanks loads
Is there a way I can download this routine without going on KZread? Anyone know how I can do this? Please and thanks
The cat kept the time flowing because there was something cute and playful to look at each minute.
Definitely going to start doing these, felt the difference straight after. Sore legs not so sore now. Thank you
