I'm so happy you're back! You're the only one on CZcams that I've found who has a focus on wrist free flows, and I love your calm demeanor 😊 thank you so much for your work
Yay! Thank you Luisa for your patience and your ongoing support 💜
Thank you SO MUCH! ❤❤❤
You're back! Yay!
Yay! I am indeed 😊 Been a long process but I'm here again with regular content for all you lovely folks! x
Thank you! @@MoveWithJames
@@MoveWithJamesthat’s such great news ❤️❤️
The way I cheered out loud when I saw this post! So grateful for your wrist free flows, James!! ❤
Thank you Sarah, so happy to know these flows are so beneficial for you! Appreciate the support!
OMG you are back!😭😍 I love your wristfree flows, I do them every week (my mum and my sister, too) and I know all of them by heart (I always say "octopus arms" or "reaching for grapes" or "shiny chins" with you) I looooove your flows and they make me feel stronger then classes on my hands! My mum always happily let's me know when she is about to do another round of "Yoga mit Jamesi", as she says in German😊
Heroic effort James!
Thank you!❤
I LOVE that! Thank you Larissa, truly, for practicing with me and for sharing these practices with your mum and sister too. So grateful for the continued support 💜
So glad you’re back - I’m not exaggerating when I say that your wrist-free classes have saved my mental health this year. I’ve been dealing with wrist pain on and off since January and if it weren’t for your channel, I would’ve had to abandon my daily yoga practice… Can't wait to do this class after work today 🎉❤
Thank you Sofia. I'm so grateful these videos have been so supportive and beneficial for you. Hope you enjoyed this flow as much as the other ones.
Balance poses and core strength are always good, for about 30 minutes. You are a wonderful teacher
Thank you so much Laura, glad you enjoyed this one!
I still come back to do your wrist free yoga even tho my wrists are ok now. 😊
So glad to have come across your videos last year! Thank you!
Thank you, so glad you resonate with my teachings, injury or not 💜
Yay!🎉
I'm excited to be back too!!
This year has been particularly difficult for me, especially the last three weeks where I experienced a high level of stress and anxiety like never before, due to complications with my mom's health.
But I want to take some time to acknowledge my temperance and calmness through moments of dispair, and now I realize that a big part of that was thanks to practicing your yoga and qigong routines, James. I can't be more grateful to you for sharing it with us!
I'm glad you're back❤
My absolute pleasure. Thank you for sharing so deeply what you are currently navigating. I thank you for being here in this community and for noticing the subtle shifts that can occur with regular practice. I am grateful to have you here and appreciate the support too! I wish your mum a gentle recovery!
So glad you’re back! You are one of my favorite yoga instructors and the only one who has hands-free focused videos. Thank you for posting new videos again🎉❤😊
My pleasure Kristi ☺️
Just now completed your sequence before getting ready for work....exactly what I needed to gain a lil strength in my legs and to stretch out w/out any weights on my hands or wrists. Your delivery is fabulous... thank you once again!
Thank you for making the time to practice!
So happy to see videos from you again! Even though my hand injury is healed, I love having these wrist free practices in my rotation I can give my hands a rest, and not overdo things. Thank you so!
Yes exactly, glad you are still looking after your wrists!
Hooray, a new one from my favourite wrist free practitioner!! Thanks so much for this gift James
You're so welcome!
James you're back 😃😃😃Xmas miracle !
Awww I'm so glad to receive this message. Thank you!!!! Hope you enjoyed the flow.
@@MoveWithJamesoh yes 😀😀😀
Really appreciate your channel James as it is I am unable to use my wrist and had to give up my yoga practice until I found your channel! Thank you so much for all your amazing practices!❤
Happy to be able to help you during this time. All the best with your recovery.
My hands free favorite yoga teacher is baaaaack!!!!
Thank you Kathleen, happy to be received so well. Hope you enjoyed this flow!
It's so great to have a new wrist free video from you, James, you're THE BEST!!! I especially enjoy the 'mandala style' ones like this. But even better are new bits of your lovely humour to chuckle at :-). Thank you so much for doing these videos for us, we really appreciate it! Also, I recommend you to everyone I know, even people in my karate club...yoga is super for karate strength, balance, and flexibility!
So glad you like them! Thank you for sharing this channel and these practices with those around you! Appreciate the ongoing support. So grateful to have you here a part of the community 💜
Delighted to see a new video! I joined your channel after I broke my elbow in 2022 and couldn’t use one arm. You made it possible for me to get back on the mat- so grateful!! Even now that I can use my arms again, I enjoy coming back to your flows a couple of times a week. Looking forward to seeing you again!!
Thank you for sharing, so grateful you still practice with me here in this community! Also happy your elbow is healed 💜
I'm so grateful for your wrist free flows, so demanding and relaxing at the same time. I got a little confused with left and right in the beginning but I'll just have to practise, lol...
So glad you enjoyed it. Actually I've been experimenting with saying, front and back of the mat, instead of left and right, maybe it's too confusing. Everyone's brain works differently! Well done for giving it a go.
Imagine my delight when signing in to do one of your older videos (which I do most mornings) to find a new one! This is very exciting! I am also on your Patreon page, but some mornings a 20-30 minute is all I have time for, so this is great! Another fantastic *wrist-free* session. Thank you, James!
YAY! Thank you Maria for your support on both platforms, so appreciate it. Really happy you found this video and it supported you 💜
Dear James, after practicing yoga for 15 years now, mainly at home since the pandemic, I am currently completely blown away and delighted by the structure of your hands free flows.... and I am absolutely addicted to the great feeling, mentally and physically, with which I have come out of every single one of your classes so far. Thank you for that. I am actually very inspired and also feel like getting more involved with qi gong and tai chi in the future. Regards from Berlin! Lara
YAY, thanks Lara, so grateful to have you here in this community, practicing and being inspired by qigong and tai chi, beautiful forms indeed to incorporate into your practice. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this wrist free option! I go between this one and "two birds" who recommended you. Both of you are my "go-to's" every day. Namaste from northern Canada 🍁 🙏
Thank you for being here and i'm so glad you have found these practices and our teachings so supportive for you.
So glad to see you are back!!! ❤❤❤ Thank you for your efforts and amazing videos!❤
You are so welcome! Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Wonderful flow - I love the way you design your wrist free flows to be fully body & mind engagement - thank you!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
So pleased you are back James. A fabulous class as always.I have so missed your live classes, but this recording so reminded me why I love your teaching - you are an amazing teacher. This wrist free class was just what was needed - strong and balanced and ‘no wrists’! Thank you x🙏
Thanks Emma for your ongoing support. Glad you can join and follow along here 💜
Yes!! Happy to see another wrist/hands-free video. I love these.
YAY! Thank you for the support, glad you loved it ☺️
I’m so happy you are back James! I adore your videos and actually recommend them to people in work through my role as a Mental Health First Aider. Yoga has also been a huge part of both physical and mental health for me; however your lovely calm demeanour and pure, peaceful and positive vibes take yoga to the next level for me. This practice was perfect for a Sat morning in the busy festive period, thank you James 🙏
My pleasure, so grateful you share these videos with those around you. Thank you!
So grateful to have you back, James! Love how peaceful & calming you are - not to mention you kick my ass every class (in the best way!) You just might be my favorite yoga instructor out there 😊 Also love your inclusion of qigong ✨
Thank you so much, really appreciate having you here in this community!
Such a beautiful and energizing way to start the day! Much gratitude for your offering of this uplifting practice 🙏
You're so welcome Emily, glad you enjoyed it and energised you!
LOVE these wrist free videos. I love yoga but my wrists cannot tolerate idaily pressure. Thank you for allowing me to continue my yoga journey. Keep them coming!!
My pleasure Wendy, thank you for being here in this community. More to come!
Thank you for this great practice. Delightful to see you back with another wrist free sequence.
You're so welcome!
Yay! So glad to have a new hands free from my favorite yogi! Lovely class 😊
Thank you Pam, appreciate you flowing with me!
James, I am SO glad you're back! Wonderful yoga practice as always 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the ongoing support!
So glad to see you back. Thanks James!❤
Thank you! ☺️
Thank you, James; you have a sweet way of moving us through the poses, so it feels good! Your voice keeps me focused. A new space?
Wonderful to hear Joyce, glad you can follow along with more focus 💜
Was very happy to see this! Love these 30 min flows, very energizing and relaxing at the same time! ✨☀️🌿🪽
So glad! Thank you ☺️
Yaaaaaay!!!! Thank you for the new class, James! Wonderful as always. So appreciate you and your practice ❤
You are so welcome!
Thanks James. We missed you ❤
Thank you, hope you enjoyed this flow!
This was perfect. Love your humor. Thank you, James 🦋🌬🖤🙏🏻🤍🧚🏼♀️
Glad you enjoyed this flow, thank you.
So good to see you back, I've missed you! This one was great, a little different, but still has my nemesis, half moon, lol. I hope you'll be coming around more now. Do you have a new space, I kind of miss all the plants, but I am always distracted by them, I have plants on the brain.
Happy and healthy new year Kelly, thanks for practicing this new flow with me. Yes new space, less plants, less distraction!
Me too, so glad you are back! :) I love the way that you make yourself vulnerable to not be perfect and make it fun and enjoy the process. Your work is very unique! Thank you so much!
Thank you, so grateful you are enjoying this practice!
Thank you so much ❤ before finding your wrist free flows I had given up on yoga. Now I barely notice it’s “wrist free” as your flows feel strong. Thank you again ❤
Yay, so great to here! Thanks for flowing with me Kate.
So happy to see you after all this time. You are my FAVORITE!!!. Will try this tomorrow morning for sure.
Hope you got the time to practice and enjoy this flow with me!
Wonderful flow; I ended yoga with a smile this evening. So happy you are back!
Yay, thank you for practicing with me.
Another brilliant wrist-free practice to throw into my regular mix of your flows :) Thank you James!
My pleasure Bryony! Thanks for practicing with me ☺️
I've missed you a lot, James! Your unique kind of classes are just amazing! Hope you are doing well. Namaste🙏🏻
Thank you Mark, so grateful how much you enjoy these flows. Thanks for being here in this cimmunity!
Hi James, I found you after I had broken my wrist and was looking for some wrist free yoga. Now I’m hooked! Your sessions are so good and your calming voice, giving options to extend your practice or be kind to your body, are just right. Keep on doing what you do so well.
Thank you so much, so grateful you enjoy and resonate with these practices.
Thank you, James! So glad you're back❤
I'm happy you enjoyed it.
Dear James, welcome back! i hope you are well 🙂
your wristfree content is gold (and i'm sure the rest is, too 😉).
thank you so much for making yoga possible for ppl with wrist injuries or chronic wrist problems like me ❤
you are a wonderful person!
My pleasure, so grateful it is supportive for you and your wrists!
Yay! New place? How about 30 minute practices each week day, a 1 hour practice for Saturday and rest on Sunday?
Thanks Laura for the requests! Yes, new place, which is why I haven't been able to film this past year, but glad to be back!
Thank you for coming back! missed your flows ❤
Thanks Natalia! Hope you enjoyed this flow!
Hi! thank you for coming back! really really miss your hands free yoga!!!!
My pleasure Sarah, sorry it took so long!
OMMGGG YOU'RE BACK! loveee your videoss 💖✨ thank you for this wonderful practice!
You're so welcome!
Love your classes so much James! Christmas came early with a new wrist free yoga flow. Thank you 🥰
Aww Thank you Julie 💜
You're back! I am so happy, your flows are the only ones i am actually excited to do and they have helped so much with building up strength without using my arms. Please keep doing these videos! 💫
Thanks for your request, trying my best to get more videos out, thanks for the support.
🎉🎉🎉Jus done with this practice & it was nice and smooth. Powerful buildup, but very enjoyable. Honestly, I'm ecstatic to see a new vdo from you🪻🌺🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻‼️‼️
Both my wrists are locked due to RA for years, and had a wrist surgery 9 months ago. Your practices have REALLY helped me enjoy yoga more and more with these wrist-free vdos. Also, I'm sure it does too to other ppl out there with wrist injuries. Thank you for your effort and time and most of all, your comeback. Hopefully looking forward to more practices from you 🩷
Sending much love from Thailand Kru James 😊
Thank you for your words and your presence here in this community. So happy you enjoyed it, and to hear how beneficial it has been for you and your wrists over this time. And yes, more videos will be coming. Thank again!
*super excited for new vdos* and I must say, you look even more healthy, more fit, in great shape, and most of all, AMAZING‼️🙌🏻 #slay
Wahoooo so happy to have a new video!! I have a shoulder and elbow injury and this flow was perfect, I found you when I broke my wrist 3 years sgo. Thank you!
So glad this practice supported you today. Thank you for being here, practicing with me!
Thanks so much James, what amazing content! Second time round I feel really good after that; strengthened, stretched and mentally more relaxed. Hope you have a lovely day 🙏
Thanks Ruth, so happy you enjoyed this flow!
To be honest I was sceptical if yoga without hands works out yet some pain in my left wrist forced me to try it out
And enjoyed it so much ! Definitely convinced that it works out now 😊
Thank you so much, James !
It definitely won‘t be the last time I am around here - also when my wrist is hopefully doing better soon.
Yay, glad you gave it a try and I do hope your wrist feels better soon!
Thank you! I always find myself grounded and reaching for the clouds at the same time after your classes 🌤️ grounded yet floating somehow 🪷
So amazing, thank you for sharing. Sounds like a perfect place to be!
So thrilled to see a new wrist-free flow! Your wrist-free practices are the best anywhere and I have depended on them for over a year now as I recover from carpal tunnel syndrome and surgeries on both hands. My mom recently broke her wrist and your flows are her way back into gentle, complete exercise. THANK YOU!
Aww, thank you for the support. I'm so grateful to support you and your mum during this time. Thank you!
Good to see you after a long time 😊
Thank you!
Yeyyy🎉 you are back! With my raptured Achilles tendon and 2months of practicing your ankle free yoga almost everyday, my physiotherapist was surprised how I am healing well without having surgery, all thanks to your workout keeping me active! More ankle free yoga pleaseeee🥹
Wow, that's so great to hear! On my list, thank you!
Thank you James ❤ That was exactly what my body.mind.spirit needed!

Aww thanks Catherine, appreciate the support and kindness.
Thanks, I feel great after that! I have a recurring shoulder injury that sometimes gets triggered by doing downward dog too often, so I'm very glad I found your channel and this hands free playlist. I love your teaching style. Looking forward to practicing with you again!
Thank you for practicing with me. Pleasure to have you here.
Since these days I have pain in my wrists, elbows and shoulders, this class was perfect. Thank you James.

Hooray! Thanks for the new yoga video!!!!
So happy to hear that! Thank you for the support!
I found your videos by searching for hands free/wrist free yoga practices because my carpal tunnel/general hand and wrist fatigue was acting up and your class did not disappoint! I loved it so much :) Thank you for creating options to practice yoga when I still want to flow, be mindful, exercise, etc. but I don't want to use my hands.
Welcome and my pleasure! Grateful to have you here practicing with me and this wonderful community 💜
Hi James, so lovely to see you again. That was great short practice, looking forward to seeing others❤

Amazing class. I broke my scaphoid a few months ago and I'm still having trouble weight-bearing on my wrist. So happy I discovered your wrist-free classes. Love everything about them. Thank you so much. (PS this is the first time I have ever commented on a CZcams video so that says something 😁)
Thanks Helen, appreciate your comment! I am grateful these flows are supporting you during this time, I hope you continue to recover and regain your strength!
