Colm, I love your brief videos! I check back often to refresh my memory on how to teach and perform certain movements. Great content!!

Can I still do the glute strengthening that my physiotherapist has given me? I have weak glutes and overloaded hip joints.

Colm, this is the most helpful comprehensive eye exercise ever! Believe me, I've done them all! It opens the flow of blood from my neck and eyes. Frees all the muscles around the eyes, and reduces the pressure! I haven't seen this well since I was a kid (and that was quite a while ago). The real estate of my eyes has increased! The view is great and getting better every time I engage in this somatic routine. In case you couldn't tell, I am VERY grateful for this routine you have created! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! Are there other somatic videos you have that address eye pressure?

I really like this but it does seem to cause strain in my neck, even if I keep my fingers only touching my head :( Any advice welcome, thank you. Another question - some of these moves (this and the lovely lovely twisting one on the same playlist), I get a delicious 'yawn' through my body. That's meant to happen, right? I sit with it, let it happen, slow the movement right the way down to release. Hope this is correct!!

Thank you very much🙏

I have a question regarding the exercise sequence where you are laying on your stomach. For Women, is there any way to make it more comfortable with respect to the chest area when laying on your stomach to do these exercises?

The instructions are so detailed So many shoulder rotations on you tube but they are just telling you to rotate Your teaching are game changers Thanks

All those years of error with other methods Example i got the concept of pinching the pencil between the shoulder blades but never actually felt it something was always restricting the movement the chest the shoulders or the latts ect ect Today i pinched the pencil 🎉 Thanks to you Colin and your teaching of freeing front and back in its entirety arms neck chest sides belly. Back Thanks a million

Thank you for that!

Thanks. Much needed!!❤

I used to join an evening class online 8.15pm. I would close my eyes but fall asleep 😂I do your exercises of a morning whilst awake so closing my eyes isnt so bad then :)

❤❤❤ makes me sleepy!

Heyy Thank you for this video.. this really help me to relax my eyes and neck.. My full body is tight and stiff how to release that?? Which somatic exercises should I do daily?? Pls help I have poor posture and L5S1 disc bulge and sciatica..

I didn’t think you’d post new vid because you’re on vacation. Thanks for the new vid tho, very helpful.

Great content! Thank you

Another amazing video, Colm! Thank you for posting this one - I've been trying to work deep core, and sequences where I have abs engaged and one leg lifted - trying to lift that second leg always makes my back and abs arch - this exercise might help me. Sending you another coffee :)

Amazing. Thanks so much.

Saving this for later. Just wanted to drop in and say a massive thank you for everything you create, I find it so helpful. I really enjoy your newsletter!

I have done a few of your exercises this afternoon and now I am on cloud 9

I really feel a big difference after I do your somatic stretches. Thank you Colm for everything you do to make our bodies feel better

This is amazing! I suffer from dizziness and my head gets heavy which puts a strain on my neck. This video helped so much! It relieved the heaviness and my neck felt so relaxed. Thank you!!!

Are we moving the high hip up and down or? Im sorry im so confused...is it up and down vertically or horizontally? Also, for how long? Must the reps be

O....M....F....G. Thanks bro. Only just tried this one. Have been doing the 15 min arch and flatten as much as possible. But this I can do anywhere, anytime. So quick and easy and it helps so very well. A deeply felt gratitude once again. I really do think this type of exercise could save the world my brother 🙏

I basically do understand the complete ideas of the moves, but , lymph and a some others. I don't understand why the book should show me about the lymph.?

That was great!

Thank you for this amazing exercise! I’ve been doing it daily and feel such a difference!

Respected sir , please answer my question . I was doing yoga at home and after some time I noticed bulge and stiffness in my oblique muscles on both sides and this affected the curves of my waist . Pleast suggest me what kind of exercise or stretching is helpful to get back the curve of my waist as it was before.

THANK YOU SO MUCH i deal with very frequent stiffness and haven't been finding too many things that help. But this is very helpful without being too hard on my body. It relieved a good amount of tension with ease. Thank you again✨

Wow it’s awesome at first the squeezing of the trunk part was hard but after the side to side it was really easy. This will make arm day way easier doing this before lifting love❤thanks.

Thanks for sharing felt great especially the last move. Trying something different to see if I can get some stress relief. ❤

I feel the tighteness in my ankles.

My glutes are flat i since these, but, i don't know what other reasons.

"It's critically important to note that whilst the lymphatic system is similar to your blood vessels, one big difference is that the lymphatic system doesn't have a heart to pump all that lymphatic fluid around, like your blood vessels do" Yes and no. While there isn't a dedicated lymph pump your body provides the required pressures to move lymph around without you having to do anything about it. You might say the body is its own lymphatic pump. Think about it...if there was a central pump for the lymphatic system then human anatomy would be radically different. It's actually hard to imagine how that would even work in practice, for example the body might spurt lymph if we were cut. Unless you have a specific medical condition that results in oedema then there is no reason I can think of why you would want to try to increase lymphatic flow. If you are reasonably active then anything you do with specific exercises is irrelevant compared to something as simple as just moving. I'm really happy for someone to correct me but as far as I understand it anything I could consciously do to increase lymphatic flow would be countered by my nervous system etc to maintain homeostasis.

I just did the glueal amnesia one, but my left foot hamstring was x extremely crampy on that one and felt my glute would not contracted as much as it did in this one , ?

Can anyone hear this?

This one is new for me! Love it..

Yes, I call this butterfly, but I love your wonderful sectional description. I do both of these morning and before bed. They feel wonderful! Thanks for sharing!

Interesting move! Do you have an explanation on why we might need this on know on some moves you have?? I down know why i am doing some movements this is frustrating for me

Colm, six minutes of perfection exclamation so so helpful to me thank you very very much!
