   Ahh… yes! Self-massage is my favorite part of this first part sequence. That is a great reminder to give the muscles some loving so they can support us more on the next exercises and so they will grow stronger faster.

      Aww, such a great words! And so true! I always was lazy after practice and never treated my body this way and the last year was a time to pay.. My muscles were so overused, that it caused a chain of little injuries. I was going to chiropractor every week for a 3 months and he told me: “You can come to me even every day, but I can’t help you anyway same way you CAN! Just respect your body, be appreciative what it can do and treat it right after”.

         Agree on this! Thank you for all your reminders. 🙂 Yes, the body sends out messages when we need to rest so we need to listen to it. I have discovered Yin Yoga a few years back. It is that discipline of yoga that targets more the fascia so no sudden movements and all about moving mindfully. If Yang activities is about building strength and movement, Yin is about allowing the body to ground and to rest. My hope is that your body fully heals itself from all its little injuries. @marisimak

   That felt sooo nice! I learned so much and I understood more about crow and muscle engagement in this position. I highly appreciate your detailed explanations – and reminders that progress takes its time 🙂 Thank you so much!

   This whole lesson was amazing! I practiced some pole fitness a few years ago but since then I’ve been doing almost no excercise, so I’m at an absolute beginner level now. I loved all the focused warmups and tips and the way you explain things is very clear. I wish all coaches could be like this. I’ll be working hard to be able to do all the poses and tricks. Thank you!

   I just finished the first lesson. My chest’s muscles were shaking and it felt wonderful! It’s great that you show different crow poses from the beginner to the higher levels, I really need to practice this in every way. Your explanations are easy to understand and follow. Thank you Mari!

   I have to say that “cooling down” is not my favourite part for any sports ???? but that self-massage just gave me a motivation boost to do it! Thank you! ❤️

      Thank you! I know.. I was always too lazy to do cold down before..???? But it really made a difference in my body progression and made me rethink my opinion))
